Although it's only July some of the leaves on my Rowan tree are
beginning to turn brown and die off. In fact, some leaves have fallen
on to a hebe and that too, is now suffering a similar fate.
Any ideas anyone on what I need to do? Thanks.
Hi Capone
I suspect that you have Fire blight which is spread by Bees. Go to
your Horticultural Wholesaler and get some "Agricultural Streptomycin"
Fire Blight is a bacterial disease.
Apply by spraying your Rowan tree (Sorbus).
You're posting from the US, are you not? Is this advice equally
applicable to the UK? I've never seen a rowan suffering from fireblight.
