We have a couple of Marshal Ashes. The one in the front yard is getting
brown rusty colored spots on the leaves. It doesn't look like insects have
been eating on it. No holes. Just brown spots. We live in Northwest
Arkansas. The temperature has been in the upper 80's. I might have been
watering it too much. I was told recently that it needs done only once or
twice a week. I'm doing it about every night. Could that be the cause of
the
spots?

Thanks,
Greg

p.s. anyone have a suggestion to get rid of johnson grass? I'm to the
point
where I am going to have to pull each one up by hand.


Are the spots kind of an orange, rust looking color? If so, it's probably
"Rust", a fungal condition. They make a fungicide to control it. Visit your
local plant nursery & see if they have a book with pictures to help you
identify it.
