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 fall.

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

When to look

Summer – fall

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Choose species that honey fungus rarely attacks (e.g. Vaccinium).
  2. By handA deep barrier (17¾ in) of rubber sheeting in the soil blocks the bootlaces; regular deep cultivation breaks them.

White powdery coating on leaves, stems and flowers.

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 fall.

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 fallRemove affected leaves at once and destroy them; collect fallen leaves in fall.

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
  3. Biological August to early Septemberentomopathogenic nematodes against the larvae: Steinernema at 5–68 °F, Heterorhabditis at 12–68 °F; they work poorly in dry or heavy soil
