Honey fungus

Honey fungus

Armillaria
High riskdisease
More about this problem

What you will see

Rotting roots, white mycelium under the bark, black bootlaces (rhizomorphs) in the soil, sudden death; mushrooms in autumn.

The source says: it is among the plants particularly susceptible to honey fungus.

When to look

Summer – autumn

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Choose species that honey fungus rarely attacks (e.g. Vaccinium).
  2. By handA deep barrier (45 cm) of rubber sheeting in the soil blocks the bootlaces; regular deep cultivation breaks them.

The source says: it is among the plants most often affected.

When to look

From spring, especially later in the season

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Water regularly and do not let plants suffer from drought; mulch (leave the area by the stem clear).
    • Improve airflow around plants.
    • Grow varieties with partial resistance, if available.
  2. By hand as soon as it appearsRemove affected leaves early; dispose of fallen affected leaves in autumn.

Brown to black spots on leaves; leaves turn yellow early.

The source says: it is susceptible to this leaf spot, which can even defoliate it.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Remove old leaves before they infect the new season.
    • Do not wet the leaves when watering; keep the plant unstressed.
  2. By hand after the first spots; in autumnRemove affected leaves at once and destroy them; collect fallen leaves in autumn.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • regularly check for notched leaf edges (thick evergreen leaves)
    • when repotting, remove larvae from the roots
  2. By hand spring – summer, after darkcollect adult beetles in the evening in warm weather with a torch, or by shaking the shrub over paper; leaf damage by adults usually does not harm the plant
