Hibiscus disease

Posted by Dennis Fisher Email User on January 8, 2017, 12:50 pm

The Hibiscus here are suffering badly some are dying. I don't see any insects and there are Grey lumpy masses where the damage is the worst. New leaves are stunted and begin to shrivel quickly. Does anyone know what it is or how to treat it or anyone else who might know?

Years ago the government came around and ripped them out because of disease

suggest you prune back your bushes hard, then spray with soapy water. Repeat spray every week or so.

Hope this helps!

Call or go to see Hector at the Vivero. Maria, his wife, speaks very good English. Hector will know exactly what to do.
