I've just found this:
http://www.penberthplants.co.uk/protea-compost It would be interesting to see if your Proteas get the leaf blackening in their compost. Penberth appear to grow a number of Proteacaea. As they are near Penzance, it might be worth asking them if they have any idea what your protea leaf problem is. -- Jeff |

Andy Not quite http://forestphytophthoras.org/phytophthora-basics "Phytophthora (pronounced Fy-TOFF-thor-uh) is a genus of microorganisms in the Stramenopile kingdom which includes water molds, diatoms and brown algae. Phytophthora species resemble true fungi because they grow by means of fine filaments, called hyphae, and produce spores. But unlike true fungi, their cell walls contain cellulose instead of chitin, their hyphae lack cross-walls, and the diploid phase, rather than the haploid phase, dominates their life cycle. Another striking feature of Phytophthora is that it produces swimming spores, called zoospores, during one phase of its life cycle, a vestige of its evolutionary origins in water. There are currently more than 80 described species of Phytophthora worldwide, and the vast majority of them are plant pathogens. The name Phytophthora is derived from Greek and literally means ?plant destroyer.? Janet |
