'STAGHEAD" OF FRUIT TREES
Csuse Msy Be Due to Vsrious Un¬ favorable Condltione—Top-Oraft- Ing Is Sometimes Necessary.
Very frequently apple trees and some varieties of shade trees are seen with the topmost branches dead and remaining: as dry sticks like antlers projecting above the foliage. This condition may be due to rarloifli un¬ favorable conditions, but It Is chiefly encountered with old trees which have long remalnud unsprayed, unpruned, uncultivated and unfertilized. This allows opportunity for wood destroy¬ ing fungi to gain an entrance. Once started their growth will eventually destroy the whole tree. Severe head- liig back and clearing out of tbe dead and fungus infested wood followed by cultivation and fertilization should be resorted to. In some instances It may be necessary to top-graft to renew the head of the tree. The full results of such treatment do not show the flrst year. Great care should be taken not to leave wounds through whicb the spores of fungi can gain an entrance to cause future decay.
I>urlng the past few years a large number of shade trees in the north¬ eastern part of the United States, and also tbe middle states have been af¬ fected with staghead. The trouble appears to have come chiefly from tbe root system, but exactly what causes it, is not definitely known at the pres¬ ent time.
There are many varieties of shade trees affected in this way, and this means their ultimate destruction, since those that do not die outright will never recover their tops, and are, therefore, worthlere as specimens of shade trees. This dying back is par¬ ticularly noticeable on elms.
A obaracteristlc feature of trees af¬ fected with staghead, more conspicu¬ ous in slowly dying trees, may be seen in the increase of the heartwood and decrease of the sapwood. The wood of the dying trees is very brittle, and the limbs and branches fall off easily.
Old trees reaching the end of their grand period of growth, usually show tbe same characteristic and for this
Elm Tree Dying With Staghead Ef¬ fect—Note Dead, Stubby Branches at the Top. I
reason they, too, become dangerous. Many of the limbs and branches fall, a large percentage when there Is no wind and where the atmosphere is usually quiet, especially during Oc¬ tober and November, after the leaves have fallen.
