Once infected with a fungus, the tree can never be fully cured. You can treat the tree and keep it healthy through proper care including not overwatering and ensuring that the soil is draining properly.
Each species of trees grows at a different rate. The International Society of Arboriculture ( www.isa-arbor.com ) has developed a guideline for the most common trees species to indicate the growth factor. By measuring the diameter of the living tree and using the calculations for growth developed by the ISA, you can estimate the age of a living tree without doing any damage.
Cold stress, cracks in the outer bark and inner wood of a tree, can be caused by wide temperature variations in the winter time. In many cases the tree will repair itself, although the area may remain vulnerable for some time. For young trees, wrap the bark during the fall months using a cold weather tree blanket. Avoid pruning the tree in the late fall, which can encourage new growth making the tree more susceptible to damage from frost.
Healthy, just-dropped acorns are ideal for planting. Place the uncracked acorn in a mixture of ½ peat and ½ loose barley in a clear plastic, sealable bag. Keeping the bag damp but not wet, store it int he refrigerator, potting it in early spring.
