What you will see

Leaf spots, early leaf drop in wet weather.

When to look

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Strong, healthy trees are more resilient; feed young trees in spring and water them in dry spells.
  2. By hand fallCollect and destroy prematurely fallen leaves and all fall leaves.

disease

What you will see

Dieback of branches; on dead wood tiny orange to coral-pink pinhead-sized fruiting bodies.

When to look

All year

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Good growing practice and garden hygiene; if the plant is sickly, look for other stresses weakening it.
    • Prune in dry weather, at the branch collar (wounds heal fastest there).
  2. By handCut out dead and affected wood quickly back to healthy wood; do not leave dead wood lying in damp corners.
  3. Chemical — only when nothing else helpsThere are no specific fungicides against this disease; use wound paint only if pruning had to be done in wet weather, not routinely.

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.
