My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Please help....Maple Fungus/Bark Cracking

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I am worried that our Maple has a serious disease. My wife says it does and wants to have it removed, but it is the feature tree in our backyard and I only want to do so if it can't be saved. Please see pic. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. This disease was present last year and i scraped the fungus off and the tree did bloom in spring and summer. We are in Northern California.
