Hi, all. I planted a Sourwood in April, and it did well through June,
when it went into a rapid decline. snipped a whole lot of stuff

Your sourwood has the dreaded tropical disease, Lack-a-Nooki. In the
past it was a disease of progressive decline without any cure.
Fortunately great strides have been made in the field of whoreticulture
in recent years, and there is yet hope for your tree.

Go to your nearest pharmacy and ask for sildenafil citrate in 100 mg.
tablets. Crush one tablet and mix in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Pour
over the top of your tree. If you don't see results within 24 hours
take two tablets by mouth (that means you swallow them yourself)
followed by 1/2 cup of cold water. You should see results within 1
hour. For best results, be sure paghat, Granny Artemis and animaux are
not within your field of view.
