Crown Gall

I have a couple of tubers that I only discovered this week have crown gall (thanks to the folks here). Is crown gall contagious to other dahlias?

RE: Crown Gall

It seems you put other plants at risk by keeping a gall infected plant. Here's a great article, though it does not offer much hope for any kind of treatment. Like questionable food in the fridge: "if in doubt, throw it out" might be good advice. Or, keep it isolated in a pot and discard it, if it makes it through the season.

Here is a link that might be useful: crown gall article
