Abstract

Trees--Diseases and pests--Washington (State) Trees--Diseases and pests--Control--Washington (State)
The symptoms of sunscald and sunburn are similar as both injure the cambium (the living cells in a tree just under the bark that give rise to the annual growth ring). Both are due to damaging temperatures, but sunscald is low-temperature damage and sunburn is high-temperature damage.
