 Phoenix and Phusarium
Hi to all you experienced arborists - having read some of the pithy interchanges in the forum I may cease my subscriptions to various saucy publications and just read Tree World Forum - much more exciting !
On a more serious note, as a horticultural consultant I recently came across a Phoenix canariensis in a client's garden which looks to me as if it is showing symptoms of Fusarium oxysporum[see pics]. Would anyone like to offer their opinion? My understanding is that there is no remedy - has drenching with neem solution been tried? Do the phosphonic acid products have any effect?
I await the fullness of your collective wisdom.......
Regards
Philodendron.
PS I can't work out how to attach a pic to this mail as the site asks for a 'URL' for the pic - what does this mean?? How do I do it ? Am I too old for this ??
