i have a hedge of varigated pitts(8 trees) one is dead and the one next to it is in decline...from what i can tell from internet research, it is a form of fungus...would corn meal or milk help in irradification? if not, what should i spray on the hedge(shudder)? bz

beezee, here is a document that addresses the problems in quite some depth.

Regrettably I cannot recommend a chemical. Chipco 26019 found much favor among commercial applicators. I have used 'Bordeau Mixture' with great success as a protectant. Please check on the legality of what you intend to do because these things are strictly regulated these days.
For 'Bordeau Mixture' check out this site.
