Hi Elaine -
I am wondering if you have a problem with vascular steak dieback. I found this article about it, with instructions on taking a sample for testing. https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/SPES/spes-483/spes-483.html
For a small fee, MSU will test your sample. Here are the instructions for submitting a sample: https://www.canr.msu.edu/pestid/submit-samples/
Good luck, I hope this helps.
