Default Re: Do trees get "Cancer"

hmmm, interesting question. i know trees are susceptible to many external forces which in turn create internal problems.
the only thing i have noticed and that i can think of that could be close to a cancer , would be a bracket fungi. after the removal of an "infected" tree looking at the CODIT trying to be performed by the tree, it cant keep up with the internal decay. its spreads all over, and eventually the bracket claims its victim. and i am unaware of any cure for this.
anyone got any clues?

scott forrest.
