Sick Holly
I have an American Holly (Ilex opaca), planted in 1985, now over 20' high - probably close to 25'. It has been sick for several years. One person who claimed to be an expert on I.opaca said I should use Cygon 2E, in spite of the fact that it warned on the label not to use it on hollies. I did use it and almost killed the tree. I just sprayed it this morning with "dormant" fungicide spray ("97% mineral oil" according to the label). I was also going to spray it with a dormant insecticide, until I noticed a warning against using it on hollies. There are a few pictures of affected leaves he http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=...&x=0&y=-y7zem0 In fact many of the leaves are much worse - there is also a seedling of about 2 1/2 feet which is much worse - many of the leaves are completely dead. Can anyone recognize the problem? Maybe *more* than one problem? Solutions? Carl |
