I’ve had some issues with that. Pruning it out every single year here.

It might be somewhat resistant. Partly due to health issues, I have a deveci that I just left to it’s own devices. I can’t say for sure that this particular one has had FB. Whatever has afflicted it has never completely killed it, and it shot out some new branches last year. It’s still small because of its issues, despite being a number of years old and growing in fairly rich soil. There is a much younger warren nearby that is considerably bigger. Some winter when I’m doing better, if the thing is a survivor, I’ll clean up that dead wood.
