All
those black spotted leaves on your Crab tree are down; the Bee Balm with its
white powdered leaves have shriveled up, as have the Garden Phlox and all their
spots. It hasn’t been a bad year for fungus, but it has reared its leaf
crippling head none the less.
Every
year you think the next won’t be as bad as this year was; but it is. You made
sure you’ve raked up all the leaves, hoping against hope that all the fungi spore
were on the leaves you’ve hauled way, but the following year shows you
otherwise; dandruff on the Bee Balm, and spots on your Crabs to impress a
Dalmatian.
What am
I doing wrong!?! You might be saying.
Possibly
nothing, but more than likely, it could be this.
I would suggest
you heavily spray the ground around your problem plants with a good all-purpose
fungicide. This should kill anything fungus spores hiding out. I would also do
this in the spring as well.
There is
no guarantee you will be fungus free, some plants are just susceptible to these
parasites, but you will diminish their numbers. Do this consistently year after
year and who knows, you could get the upper hand on this bane.
