Pink Fungus On Pussy Willow Leaves

Question From: M. Swain - Saint James, New York, United States
Q: I have a pink fungus on the leaves of my pussy willow is it dieing? I am so scared.

A: I recommend you cut off several samples of the infected leaves with their stems to an independent nursery or garden center ( not a big box) in your area for an Id or get an onsite inspection from a certified arborist. You can find one in your area at www.tcia.org. Willows are subject to a number of diseases and your tree may have more then one issue. Best Nancy
