Garden Notes
Bacterial Leaf Scorch

Bacterial leaf scorch can be a major problem in some species of trees. Certified Arborist Wes Hopper says this disease is spread by leafhoppers and especially affects sycamore, elm, and oak trees. The bacteria will move from the leaf into the limbs of the tree and the tree will brown and die back. Wes talks about ways to reduce disease pressure and some things you can do, and an arborist can do, to help the tree.
