What is this incurable disease
that is threatening the canal?
Since 2006, the canal du Midi’s plane trees have been attacked by canker stain, a microscopic fungus that decimates them in just a matter of months. There is only one solution to overcoming this scourge: cut down and burn dead or infected trees and replant new species.
