Help! Are my trees dying?

ctonliner · 18th May 2009, 08:14 AM

If someone could tell me the name of these trees/bushes, I may be able to find the answer more easily. They have been getting reddish spots on the leaves and I am wondering if there is something I can do to help save them if they are in trouble.

I've tried to post the images here, but it isn't letting me, I've posted them on Picasa though:

Thanks!

Looks like a privet,but its hard to tell,either way it has blotches or mites.

Thanks! Is there something that can be done about it?

Try resizing your images to suit, when loading the parameters are given in the tables.

Rust is a fungi and treated by fungicides

or it could be element deficiencies, hard to tell from the tiny pics.

Either way, think about it ... is it fungi related or insect/bacteria related or soil problems.

Look at the leaf with a magnifying glass, what do you see?

Reattaching images...

I think they might be Photinia, and from what I've found online, it appears to be red spot...

I'm no expert, but they appear to be Red-Tipped Photinias with Entomosporium Leaf Spot caused by a fungus.

Here's a link to some good information: ODIN011 - Entomosporium Leaf Spot on Red Tip
