How to Identify and Control Hypoxylon Cankers of Oaks and Other Hardwoods
Hypoxylon cankers are common throughout the South on oaks and other hardwoods where they normally occur on stressed hosts.
The canker is caused by one or more species of fungi in the genus Hypoxylon. Found in the outer bark areas of living and healthy trees, the fungus is normally of little consequence. However it can severely injure or kill trees weakened by factors such as drought, root disease, mechanical injury, logging, or construction activities.
