Data Coverage 3 of 6 dimensions
Stunt can show up on landscape plants, producing visible damage that ranges from leaf spots and discoloration to branch dieback depending on severity. Early detection gives you the best management options.
Start with sanitation: remove and dispose of affected material as you find it. Thin dense growth to improve air circulation, and redirect irrigation away from foliage. If the condition persists despite cultural adjustments, your local Extension office can help identify the pathogen and recommend targeted treatments.
