after going to this link, and seeing all the host plants and good pictures
of what the disease looks like on some of the host plants, it is with a sad
and apprehensive heart that I have to say that I have lost two rhodies to
this fungus. The pictures are EXACTLY what I had to develope and kill my
bushes I bought at Lowes last year and this year.

I am pulling them up and burning them and burying their ashes in the deep
part of my woods this week. I just hope with all the rain that I haven't
already spread this fungus amongst my own pin oaks..........

For information regarding Sudden Oak Death (SOD) go to the CA Oak

There are about 60 identified host plants
(not just camellias and rhodies) some can
have the disease and not die. The plants
and symtoms are listed there as well as
up to date information.

(I have posted this site several times; has anyone ever looked at it?)

I have checked this link out as I have also checked another link out and
become rather dismayed to find such a large number of host plants there. And
that I have several host plants of which some have died of what looks to be
the fungus in question. I sincerely hope not.

(MLEBLANCA) expounded:

We're going camping up in the mountains this week, so I'll be away from the
group for a few days. Will be catching up with all the posts at the end of the
week. How's your summer going?

My summer is fine, I just wish I didn't work so much so I could spend
more time in my garden! So many projects, so little time....and we're
gearing up to tearing up the whole backyard for a new septic
system......

my memory.

Actually, in this region it is recommended you prune in the dead heat of
summer
or the coldest part of winter in Jan/Feb. Although pruning paint is out of
date, the arborists recommend using it on cuts larger than an inch. I use it,
but not a heavy application. That I know of, there is no oak wilt in this
little area, but there are very large amounts in Austin where many thousands
of
old growth live oaks are being taken down.

Sad, really,

Very sad indeed. I drive the byways of the Hill Country quite often and see tens
of thousands of dead live oaks.

I was out at a convent on the west side of San Antonio a while back. Probably
the biggest live oak I've ever seen in my life was deader than a doornail. Many
others were in decline.
