An annual curse when cool, wet springs trigger anthracnose to flourish. It’s caused by a group of fungi that can attack trees, shrubs, flowers and just about anything green.
Today’s guests are Hank Stelzer, forestry specialist for University of Missouri Extension and Patricia Hosack, director of the MU Plant diagnostic clinic. Both discuss this disease and why it’s important to keep trees healthy so they can survive the attack of anthracnose.
