| Everything I've read this morning indicates these shrubs are pest/disease free with the exception of occasional scale.
I have a row at the back of my front foundation plantings. In front of them, Indian Hawthornes (Rhaphiolepis indica) appear fine. (When we purchased this house, I was prepared to deal with their notorious problems with fungal disease. I'm pretty sure the building landscaper didn't take the time to ensure he'd planted a fungus resistant variety.) When the 1st 2 shrubs lost a brach each (next to each other) a couple of weeks ago, I delicately asked hubby if he'd gotten them with Round-up, which he emphatically denies! This morning, a visual check indicates I have a 3rd shrub suffering... But.... these are supposed to be disease-"free" shrubs. Can you take a look at my photobucket album with notes/comments and render your opinions? Is this fungal and is it a losing battle? http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/bendpierson/Cleyera Disease/ |

| Hi, I came across your post and was wondering if you found out what was causing the die-back? I am having the same problem. I planted 20 cleyeras in a row in April-10, and they all seamed to be growing, some more than a foot over the summer. Than in September I lost one, and I just saw another one starting to lose one branch. The two plants aren't even next to each other. Were you able to save your plants? I'll appreciate your comments. Cheers! |
