I think I've got cankers on my redbud. Lost one branch, have a couple more spots that go half to most of the way around a branch. This tree is grown from seeds of my mother's 30 year old nursery bought tree. It's about 7 feet tall, divided into three trunks. Full sun , it's got some maples on its north and east.
Is it doomed? I have another, larger one that also has spots, but much smaller percentage of the branches affected.
