FORSYTHIA DISEASE PROBLEMS
Bacterial crown gall causes nodular growths along the
stems that may kill them. Cut off and destroy infected
canes, or destroy the entire plant if it's severely
infected.
Several leaf spots may be seen but are not serious.
Dieback occurs when a fungus enters the blossoms and
flower stalks. Twigs on infected stems die back. Prune
out and destroy dead twigs and stems.
