EUONYMUS DISEASE PROBLEMS

Anthracnose, caused by fungi in the genus Gloeosporium,     
produces brown lesions containing black fruiting bodies on  
the leaves.                                                 

Bacterial crown gall causes formation of galls on stems     
and roots.  Severely infested plants should be destroyed;   
lightly infected branches may be pruned off and             
destroyed.  Dip pruners in 70 percent denatured alcohol     
between cuts.  No satisfactory chemical control is          
available.                                                  

Two fungi cause wilting and dieback of the branches.        
Phomopsis dieback is a problem on E. fortunei 'Vegetus'.    
No chemical control is listed.  Prune out infected          
branches.
