Who do I contact for treatment? I don't want to treat this myself...I to make sure whatever need to be done is done so I don't lose it all.

Thanks so much for any replies.

I live in Bucks County, PA. Can anyone tell me who I should contact?

This die-back started in one area a few years ago and is spreading rapidly. I don't know what to do. I have never heard of pachysandra having any problems. Does anyone have any ideas?

There are various methods of treatment, however your best success is to determine the cause of the stress and eliminate it. And remove all affected plants and dispose of them.

I have wondered if the spring clean-up guys accidentally brought the fungus in on their equipment. But I have never seen anything like this on pachysandra anywhere in the northeast.

A warning: I was about to load the hose-end sprayer with the stuff and I decided to read the entire little brochure attached to the container. At the very end, it said FATAL. I had on shorts and flip-flops. So I went in and put on heavy gear, rubber gloves (which I threw out aftewards) and shoes and socks.

I can't remember the name of the stuff--I have some in the basement--but it's the only thing that will kill this fungus. If you go to a good aggie store or a real nursery with a full line of products, they will show you. Not the big box stores.

I am so happy to see my beautiful pachysandra recover, tho it will take a year or two to fill in where it had completely died.
