Sycamore blight grips regional trees in unusual season
Regional plant experts warn that sycamores face severe anthracnose due to a late wet spring and unseasonable warmth. Fungus Gnomonia platani causes twig and leaf blights, with many trees defoliated up to 70 percent statewide and some showing a third leaf crop as they struggle to recover. Long-term impact remains unclear but many specimens may survive while weaker trees die back.
