| Don't see HVX. What have you been using to "treat for pests". Looks a bit like Fortunei Albomarginata. Steve |

| I treated the hydrangeas just behind this with an anti fungal. I also spread some diatomaceous earth to deal with slugs. (I've since done a bit more reading and switched to an ammonia solution). Sorry to be paranoid. I'm new, and I've done a lot of moving plants of unknown origins all around my property prior to learning about HVX with no cleaning of tools in between. If I have one plant with HVX, there is a good possibility that I have 30. Anita |

| The diatomaceous earth should be harmless. It's simply ground up remains of a marine organism. It's possible that the brown areas were caused by the fungicide. If it was somehow applied at a concentrated level, it could burn the foliage. Can you get a better straight-on pic and post it for us to look at? |
