My flowering almond bush bloomed fine this year, but have recently noticed leaves dying off the branches. Was going to cut off dead wood and noticed what looked like black sacs that were jelly-like when scraped off. Anyone know what this is? Do I need to cut off all infected branches?
I have two bushes only noticed it on one. For the lack of knowing what to do I sprayedit with fungicide figured couldn't hurt.
Any help appreciated.( Hope the pic helps)
Thanks
