Avoid pruning sealers. They contain petrolem distilates and
research has
shown damage to cambium tissue as a result of these products. Take some of
the diseased tissue to the local county extension service, and they can
send it to a lab for analysis. There is usually a fee involved for this
type of service. Good luck !
