Mulching with previously diseased tree branches?

19 years ago

I recently cut down 2 65' maples that were dying or dead from verticillium wilt fungus. I am told that there is no way to effectively control the fungus in the ground but i can be spread by the use of its infected parts. I was wondering if I chip the branches and heat them for a few days in a tumbling composter or covered with black visqueen, it might kill the fungus. What is the thought of the collective GW posters?
