Some of the leaves on my mountain laurel have dark brown spots and a few leaves are turning yellow and falling off. What might be the cause and what should I do? Thank you! |
If the shrub has been established for some time, please visit this link to the University of Illinois Extension Web site that shows photos of the two most common leaf spot diseases, and provides detailed information on how to care for your shrub to ensure it's health and prevent further problems: http://www.ipm.uiuc.edu/public... Since it sounds like the problem has affected only a few leaves on your plants, you should not have to resort to the use of Benlate, which is suggested in the above bulletin for severe infections. If you choose to use Benlate, be sure to follow the products usage instructions exactly. Best of luck to you! |
