The infection results in bark and wood cankers, and soon, you will notice gumming near the affected areas. It structurally weakens a tree, making it the ideal place for wood boring insects to thrive.

A canker is a sore that appears on your tree and woody shrubs after it is attacked by any disease, insect, or pest. Both fungi and bacteria can cause cankers, which invade bark tissue on current season wood. When your tree gets wounded or stressed because of storms or attacks of insects, Bot cankers colonize both bark and inner tissue. Within a few months, Cankers get matured and multiplied to girdle twigs, branches, or trunks.

Cankers are usually oval but can vary in size and shape. It appears as pinhead-sized, black, or colored raised bumps embedded in the bark.
