jazoo Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 3 Location: Brisbane Registered: July 2008	Only a few leaves left on Mango tree Posted 136 days ago I've recently moved into a house with a very sad looking Mango tree in the back yard. There is only a few leaves left on the tree & green mould on some of the trunks. I've cleared away bricks and long grass that were placed round the base and noticed that some of the bark could be pulled away easily - it looked a bit like dry rot only wet. I don't know how long the tree has been in this state. Seeing that there a few leaves left on the tree, I am hoping there is still a bit of life left in it. The tree would be about 3 stories high and growing in the Brisbane bayside suburb of Wynnum. Could this possibily be a very bad case of Anthracnose and if so how would I treat this large tree with fungicide. Other trees in the area are all green and magnificant. What can I do to start healing this tree?	0 0 Alert moderator

There is a bit about collar rot which I think is what your mango is suffering from. The article is actually on citrus but the same rules apply. Seek some advice from your local nursery on what you should use on the trunk to help restore it if it's at all possible.	0 0 Alert moderator
