[IBC] Sudden oak death and you
If they aren't host plants, you have no worries. We don't want
to shun
Monrovia, which has done nothing wrong and deserves no blame!
If you
bought host plants, you might want to look around your yard and
see if you
have any large, glorious oaks sitting around that you cherish
and want to
keep healthy. Oaks don't get this disease from other oaks: for
the most
part, they catch it from California bay trees (Umbellularia
californica).
So if you plant an infected rhododendron or camellia, it might
spread it
to bay trees, which will spread it to oaks.
Q virginiana??????????
ALL oaks?
Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Only where
people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
