Your rosemary has the dreaded Marphistes virus. It is caused by the
Marphistes mite which mates in the summer and the female deposits her
eggs in the ends of the rosemary sprigs. The Marphistes virus also
attacks pine trees, sedges, and some vegetable seedlings.

Go to your nearest pool supply store and buy a gallon of muriatic acid.
Pour it full strength on your rosemary and you will see results within
24 hours. Despite the name, muriatic acid is perfectly safe for humans
and pets, and is, in fact, a common swimming pool treatment. Should you
have any left over it makes a swell substitute for gin or vodka in
cocktails.

Hi to all
I have rosemary growing on the sides of my walkway and the beds are slightly
inclined. The rosemary at the top are sharing space with my wisteria and
they are dark green and beautiful. From about the middle on down the
rosemary is turning yellow. I water using drip irrigation and am wondering
if the rosemary on the lower end of the incline are getting too much water.
I am going to adjust the drippers but was wondering if there might be
another problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
