Thanks! Makes much sense. By the time it’s symptomatic, the vascular system is becoming sealed off thus no/little uptake of the fungicide can occur.

I see your point Marc. The presenter of the information is a BCMA and I took it as gospel. Re watching it he did say “LIKE an auto immune response”. I can see his point as well. The master point and takeaway was that the fungus does not directly kill the tree but the trees response to the fungal...

I suppose it’s a hormone 🤷‍♂️. Perhaps we could look into how oak wilt is treated- the applied agent’s mechanisms. Is it an anti-fungal or a chemical blocker. Good question about the fungus being able to produce fatality.
