Maple tree possible fungus

QuestionsMaple tree possible fungus
Bridget Suttle Staff asked 14 years ago

I have just noticed a type of fungus on my maple tree that is planted in a 15 inch pot (measured across the top). there is a little brown scab on the trunk and when you scratch it white sticky fungus appears. The tree is aprox 3 foot 8 inches tall and is 2 years old (purchased at Bloom). I lost a similar tree recently with no noticable disease and would be keen that this one survives. I would appreciate any advice Thanks
