Rhododendron 2015
ian mcdonald:
This Rhodo. is sick. It appears to be suffering from drought but is not. Could it be fungus attack, such as honey fungus?
johnw:
Ian - Sorry to say not sick but dead. I can't say which diseases are common where you are but here I'd diagnose that as Phytophthora cinnamoni off the top. Whatever don't use that spot for replanting.
Maggi Young:
And while I'm not a fan of garden bonfires I would be inclined to light one for this dead body.
ian mcdonald:
The Rhodo. is sicker now. It,s in the bin. Bonfires are frowned upon in this area and I have no room to light one.
ian mcdonald:
During removal of the Rhodo. I noticed what looks like Mycelium under the bark. See attached. I have dosed the area with Jeyes fluid and will leave it for a year before re-planting. I hope that removal of the host plant will make the area safe.
