Default [IBC] Coral maple

HI Kevin
I read a few pages I have in my files on Buergerianun they say about
Verticillosis as a nasty one adviced to treat with Bentonyl 1% or burn the plant
So I trow away the plant and washed the pot with chlorine , as well as tools.
I hope anyone else of my maples has been contaminated
2 cuttings I made from the same Coral maple has been trashed too ,one was ok
the other one had the same symptoms wilt new growth ..
Will call the nursery on monday and tell them ..
Thanks again for your informations
Theo

Sounds very much like Verticillium wilt to me. I've had it randomly
destroy 3 of my very best Maple varieties. Crimson Queen was 50% killed
off and the surviving part has now grown into an acceptable garden plant
in the subsequent five years. If the list agrees, I'd cut out well below
the affected areas and dispose of cuttings cleanly. Remember to
sterilise tools afterward.

Good luck

I have a coral maple form nursery .. put into a growing pot since 4
weeks

all seemed ok and it started sprouting .. today I noticed that 5
shots in different branches (4 leaves already out + small central stem
) were limp we had a rainy day and the plant is not very much exposed
to wind nor to rain directly

It is the first time I am dealing with this Coral specie I am used
more Desojo and Trident
might be a roots fungus attack ?
Thanks for any advice
Theo
