I believe that my 6 year old coconuts have become infected with the blight disease. I recently lost one tree, upon removal of the tree we discovered a rotten core in the heart of the tree, which had a pungent putrid smell . The initial symtoms were a yellowing of the outer frongs which we treated with maganese and magnesium. We have 3 other coconuts in close proximity, one of which is begining to show symtoms. Is there a cure or a way to stop the spread of this disease, and what is the danger to other trees not in close proximity to this tree? PLEASE PLEASE HELP THESE TREES ARE LIKE OUR CHILDREN.
