Canker Stain in Sycamore and London Plane Tree
London plane and sycamore trees are susceptible to a fungus, Ceratocystis fimbriata f. sp. platani, that is lethal. The living cells of the wood in the phloem, cambium and sapwood are invaded quickly soon after a fresh wound exposes those cells. Although sap-feeding insects can carry the fungus from tree to tree naturally, the most severe outbreaks are usually traced to pruning and other work on the trees.

Caring for Houseplants
Learning how to develop an ideal environment for houseplants will create lasting enjoyment. Increasing humidity during winter when air indoors tends to be drier, or fertilizing during the warmer months when plants are actively growing are some of the small steps necessary to keep a plant healthy and pleasing to look at. If you ever notice that your houseplants aren’t performing as expected or look less than desirable, start by making small changes to their environment and observe whether the plant is responding before making drastic alterations.
