Sooty growth on holly
In message , Franz Heymann
writes "fumier" wrote in message ... Well developed holly, pride and joy near front door has developed a dirty/sooty mold since the summer. Back of leaves has white "seedy"/pupae c.2mm, now dead. Have treated with usual glyphosates. What on earth do you mean by "treated with usual glyphosates"? Glyphosate is a herbicide which will kill the plant Indeed. Though I have known holly seedlings in the orchard survive glyphosate application I would not risk it on a specimen plant! Their waxy coat appears to resist the wetting agent rather well. The black stuff he describes is probably an opportunistic sooty mould growing on honeydew from some aphid or scale infestation. Never had any berries. All advice gratefully received. Has it ever flowered? Could be a male. They don't. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
