Ganoderma infected declining tree
Ganoderma fungi are associated with decline of many trees (right photo). There is no cure for this once it is detected in the tree. A sure sign of this fungi is the fruiting body or conk that appears at the base of the trunk (left photos). Some ganoderma fungi enter the tree through wounds at the trunk base. Prevent wounding with good management.
