8.  The beautiful redbud is susceptible to cankers. This
is a fungus that can grow in its limbs or trunk,
cutting off the supply of nutrients from the ground to
the leaves. The way a tree gets infected with this
disease is if it has been under severe pressure, like
a drought, and develops an open wound. Through
that, the fungi can enter your redbud. Avoid putting
your tree under undue stress by making sure it
stays well watered during dry times. If you see an
infected limb, it is best to remove it before the
fungus can spread to the remainder of the tree.
