Cypress

[ESSCM]

I have several cypress trees, don't know what kind. They are about 6 feet
tall and narrow.
There are many globs of a brown substance on the branches. Some of the
branches have turned brown and died. The brown substance surrounds the whole
branch. Most are about 3/4 inch in diameter. There are some smaller one and
they appear to be some clumps of this brown substance. I really noticed it
after a rain.
The substance appears to be coming out of the branch, it is soft and gooey.
I think it may be Branch Canker. What can be done to correct this disease?
I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The cause of your problem is a seridium canker. I found some info for you as its too much to type. Go to http://www.aces.edu/department/extcomm/publications/anr/anr-1160/anr-1160.html it has some good info on your problem.
Good luck, Darin

Can you help me identify these white dots on my cypress leaves? Is it a problem? What is the solution? Pictures attached...
