live on live wood. The fungus enters the wood via a wound in the
plant. It is spread by splashes from rain or watering.

kill the plant if it is not treated quickly.
Treatment
The only thing that is effective is to cut out the infected areas.
Make sure you prune out into the healthy wood. Burn infected parts.
