Red Tips
Hi Everyone,
I know these are prone to disease but is it really all that bad? I need maybe 10 in one spot and 5 inan other to create a "fence". We are only going to live here maybe another 5 years but I want somthing in the works for re sale. As we are retiring in September I need a quick, cheep fix. MJ |

Red Tips
Yes, the photina blight is bad. Our "fence" became infected with the leaves
dropping off, leaving bare branches. We cut the redtips down and replanted chindo viburnums. After four years, the chindos are about 12 feet tall and are fuller at the bottom than at the top. You can go over to the Arboretum and see some mature specimens to make sure it will work for you. |

Red Tips
Don't know of a local nursery that sells them any more. I saw some at a
nursery in the DC area. Many do get diseased and will not respond to treatment. Having a plant with disease problems may not add to the value of your property. Instead you may want to consider ligustrum - the big leafed variety, hollies, such as Nelly Stevens, wax myrtles, chindo viburnums if there is some shade, osmanthus fragrans, or even the much maligned elaeagnus. They are all readily available at local nurseries. Good luck. MJC wrote: Hi Everyone, I know these are prone to disease but is it really all that bad?
