Sooty growth on holly
"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 Never had any berries. All advice gratefully received. David Franz |

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 |

Sooty growth on holly
In message , fumier
writes Ooops, too much Agent Orange on Sunday nights! I think I used B&Q's aphid killer. Any serious suggestions, please? "Soot" seems to be spreading You can clean the soot off and the honeydew it is growing on with any simple wetting agent and water. The problem is some waxy plants like holly and bay that get sooty moulds do not like losing their waxy coating and will shed their leaves if cleaned too vigorously. The sooty mould is only cosmetic on the surface it doesn't harm the plant. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
