This native grows rampant here, almost weedy, but never amounts to much because of black knot disease. I'm curious if anyone else has this in your woodland and if you've had any luck controlling it?

I can't realistically spray all of the trees growing here, and I'm starting to think maybe I should eradicate all or most of them. The spread of this disease is almost 100%. Here's a photo of the best specimen on the property, simply because it seems to have managed to avoid BK.
