In Arkansas. Big trees. Is there a cure for it?

Sadly there’s not much to be done. Its a fungal disease. If It’s it just on limbs you could prune and then burn the limbs but the rest of the tree will likely become infected.

I have heard of people pruning and destroying the infected branches etc. You are dealing with a fungus, but if the trees are big and within a forested type setting it may be too late, difficult or almost impossible to prune etc. I have not heard of a cure or treatment but there may be products that slow the progression of the organism.

Google it.

Good grief, even maples are at risk..yikes. It is hard to know what to plant nowadays
