• Who to contact about tree diseases?

    Question

    We've had this Chinese chestnut in our back yard for about 20 years, but this is the first time we've seen this, whatever it is, on this tree. It's also affecting two other chestnuts planted within the last few years. Wonder if you can tell us what it is/what can we do about it?
