How do I get rid of some fungus type looking stuff on branches of my Italian plum tree

1 Answer

Answer :

Two ways, first: You can burn cedar branches and direct the smoke to your infested tree, or, Second: You can spray the tree with a mixture of vinegar 20%, vegetable oil 20% and water 60% with a teaspoon of sea salt, (one teaspoon of sea saly per gallon of water),  If you choose to spray [which is the easiest method] than spray in the morning before the sun is full in the sky,  You should only spray your tree three times max. and wait a day between the sprays. You should see the results in about 2 weeks,  -Birdy
