Thank you.
There are many trees and shrubs around town that are infected by Black Knot disease. This fungus will continue to grow and will release spores that will infect neighbouring trees.
The Town of Trochu suggests that you prune or have these trees removed to minimize further spread of the disease. They can be hauled to the town’s transfer site and thrown into the burn pits where they will be incinerated to prevent further infection. Early spring or late fall is a good time for seeing the infection and pruning.
More information can be found here on the Government of Alberta’s website.
