I wasn't talking about treating the tree, but after removing the tree, killing the fungus, so another tree could be safely planted later on.

Good point!

I know that all of the tools used to cut a silk tree with fuserium rot need to be sterilized. All of the tree needs to be burnt to kill the fungus. Fungus is the only thing that kills silk trees in the US.

Ouch Penny! Take care. When body meets hard ground or floor the latter always wins. We want you whole and not hurting.

I remember some years ago my husband and I were racing recumbent bikes at an event. His low racer was encased in a Koroplast fairing that made the bike faster and him safer. When he took a corner a little too fast in it during the race, the wheels slide out from under it and he went into a slide that sent him towards a light standard. He said he remembered thinking, well, dang, this isn't bad at all and it wasn't. He got up, brushed off and got on with the race no worse for the wear.

A couple of months later he had an appointment with his primary care doc at the VA who asked him if he had suffered any falls in the last year. He chuckled and said, yes, I fell in my bike during a race. She questioned him as to what he meant by falling "IN" a bike. He explained that he was racing his streamliner recumbent bike and it crashed with him in it and went into a light standard during the slide but he wasn't hurt. She looked at him and told him not to get smart with her. He told her he wasn't. She didn't buy it.

Years later we were transferring a copy of his records to our family doctor and ran across that particular visits notes.

The doctor listed him as being 'unco-operative' with his responses.

Got a really nice surprise package today from Cap. SEEDS! Wonderful SEEDS along with Silvadene creme for our Dingo's feet! Thank you doesn't seem like enough. People on BYC are truly special.

PS Bruce, sometime try rubbing dead poison ivy vine on your face and see what happens in 48 hours. You will be as surprised as I was the first time I got poison ivy rash from dead vine that is hanging on a piece of firewood and I missed it when we split the wood. Usually we pull it off wearing gloves on our hands and discard it safely. But every now and again, one slips by.

Missouri poison ivy is stubborn stuff. It will even rise up to give you a rash when it is as dead as a door nail.

What about copper?

We have a silk tree here that shows symptoms or fuserium wilt-- a fungus. The tree will likely be dead in two years. There is no treatment for it

I knew about the dead poison ivy because it is all over the place here!

Yeah, poison ivy is interesting stuff. Missouri has over 17 varieties. Each and every one of them is sheer evil because some of them don't even look like typical poison ivy.

Copper is the treatment for fungal infections in trees. We have been using it to flight fire blight in our fruit trees for the past three years.

chicka, that poor tree. Would treating the ground with Oxine after removing the tree, help kill the fungus in the ground?

I called Auburn Ag. Dept and they said there's. No cure and it will stay in the ground.
I'm going to get another plum and plant it in a half barrel and put it on a large paving stone.

I was told it would work in 2 years. Drats! We have canket and blight on all our fruit trees and grapes and strawberries!
How can you eat the fruit if you spray with copper?

The fungus gets into to core of the tree(silk tree--I don't know about Oak). Copper can slow it down but not stop it.
