In Germany we tend to get a big problem with Sooty bark disease in Sycamore maple trees. We noticed forest stands, where more than 50 % of the trees are dying. Since there is only little in literature I would like to ask if You could give me information about your experience. We especially need to know how to remove trees and if there is a great risk for human health. I would be happy if you could give some advice or a contact person in phytopathology. Thank you and kind regards, Nicole Burgdorf Dr. Nicole Burgdorf Department of Forest Protection Bavarian State Institute of Forestry Hans-Carl-von-Carlowitz-Platz 1 85354 Freising Germany Phone: 0049 8161 71 4949 nicole.burgdorf(a)lwf.bayern.de
