Verticillium Wilt in Maples
The Verticillium wilt fungus blocks water-conducting tissue and thus impedes water movement in the tree. This results in wilting. If the tree is healthy, it may be able to withstand an initial attack, but continued invasion by the fungus will result in the death of the tree.
How can you tell if a maple tree is infected with the Verticillium fungus?
