Recognise coral spot

Coral spot, Nectria cinnabarina, is a fungus that feeds on dead wood, especially old hazel peasticks. Spores from the pink pustules on the bark are dispersed in rain splash and wind-blown rain onto living woody tissue, and if a plant is already stressed infection may take hold. Cut out and burn infected material.
