What does treatment for sooty mould cost?

Answered for Fishers, Hamilton County.

Common under aphid-infested maple and linden in mid-summer. In Fishers, fishers was not one of the 23 communities in Indiana DNR's street-tree sample inventory, so no verified species breakdown exists for the city. What is documented is that the Tree Board maintains a list of desirable and undesirable species and no species off that list may be planted as a street tree without special permission — the practical picture being a 1990s-2000s nursery palette in tight uniform age classes, with ash gone since EAB was confirmed in Indiana in 2004. Harmless in itself — it grows on the honeydew, not on the tree.

Fishers's canopy and what's at risk

Fishers was not one of the 23 communities in Indiana DNR's street-tree sample inventory, so no verified species breakdown exists for the city.

What to look for

Black soot-like film on leaves, branches, cars and patio furniture below the tree.

Whether the tree can be saved

Harmless in itself — it grows on the honeydew, not on the tree. It is a symptom. Treating the mould achieves nothing; find the aphids or scale above it.

Timing in Hamilton County

Deal with the insect, and the mould weathers off.
