What are some treatments and cures for verticulum wilt?

Answer by  brittany57 (39)

Trees and shrubs that show severe signs of verticillium wilt cannot be treated and shold be replaced with a disease resistant species. It is important for anyone to remember that this particular disease only infects stressed and weak plants, so while there are no cures it can be prevented with healthy and happy plants.

Prune the infected branches. There are a few fungicides that help cure them. This disease is passed from parent trees; be particular where you buy your plants.

Verticillium wilt in trees is very serious. You need to prune back infected branches to live wood, and disinfect your tools between cuts. Destroy the removed materials. You might still lose the tree. Replant a different species.

There is no cure, but some trees can be managed to last a few years longer. Avoid overwatering, prune properly, and replace tree or plant with resistant variety.

You can basically just retreat it with some fertilizer and compost. That's a common cure for the wilt plant as well.
