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 (Vis. 1) 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.
