I don't know what this is, and frankly it scares me.
Attached are pictures of the tree's trunk bark and seed (to identify the tree and form a comparison to the branches) and branches. Material is either adhered to or erupting from the branches. The condition is on every branch to the top of the tree, but does not appear on the trunk. It is brittle, and has a light wood color inside. It does not have a detectable odor, but tastes rather minty.
Okay, it doesn't taste minty.
Do I have to burn this tree to the ground and sterilize the area with caustics and napalm? I don't want this spreading. Would someone be so kind as to identify what kind of nightmare has seized control of my tree?
Thanks for any help you can give.
