Nooooo - my guess is - he's not remembering correctly. Are the leaves serrated? re: Vegol from Lilly Miller: says 2% ratio - 4 teaspoons of concentrate with 1 quart of water or 2 fluid oz with 3 quarts of water. Apply 1 quart for 3 square yards. Repeat treatment in 1-2 weeks if needed. Shake while applying. No sulphur before or after for 30 days. Don't use above 90 or below 32. Don't spray tree and vine until daytime teps have warmed to a point above 35F and crops are free from moisture due to melting frost or heavy dews. Use after Oct 1 may increase the tree's susceptibility to cold damage. Says it's for dormant and growing season use. Kills eggs and stuff, too. I don't think you're imagining it. But are the leaves serrated? That will tell ya if it's a yellow. . . .

f4f, Mine is in a south window in a small hanging planter. About once a year or less or when it starts looking like the dirt has lost it's nice texture, I chop off all the tangles & root or toss them & replant the tubers. Just wrap the long strings back over the top when they get too long. They bloom these strange little tube shaped flowers & I even had a seed pod once. Haven't planted it yet. I used to make little ceramic hanging pots with macrame hangers for them & give them as gifts. Linda

Jim  re: Dead foliage. Yes, youÂre right. I have to pick up the "yuck" on the gound. Those are damaged leaves I threw on the ground the day before from the other ones. (I was upset and didnÂt want the plants putting effort into damaged foliage.) I picked some up last nite. The "plant" behind them is a recovering "Pawlonia" tree. HereÂs pics of the damaged ones. This is what is happening on the tops. It's bad: More heartache: HereÂs a wider picture of the whites that are the most damaged and unhappy: I also posted the "damage" under a different post. "Pics of my damaged Brugs" or something like that. IÂll find a magnifying glass around here. I just got a bare root "grimaldi" and some "cypress gardens" and others to add to the list. I caught the "fever"  I now have 21 in varying shapes and sizes. BIG sticks, small sticks, small plants, large plants, medium plants, etc. I just donÂt remember ever having all these problems in No Cal with the 3 I had there. Thank you Jim for any help/suggestions you can give. I was waiting until the whites and yellows were "sufficient" size to place them in their "show" spots in my little yard. (Along my driveway between my cherry trees and along the front of my house.) The Whites are the most unhappy. The yellows are being damaged, but seem to be hardier. The dwarf pinks are doing "ok" but  theyÂre showing damage and I fear for them. IÂm flushing the soil right now (as someone suggested) and using a hose to try to get "this" under control (whatever it is) IÂm at a loss. Thank you for any help you can give Jim. Dweeb

Hi, I truely feel at home with all you Brug lovers. Sometimes I feel guilty that I dont fret over my son as much, lol but I'm sure I do.I have a question for you I have five Brugs and 3 of them get mites and 2 do not and I believe it is because they dont get much sun and the ground is damp under them and they are spectacular, the others I am constantly fighting off mites although they bloom great but over all the tree's dont look well.Do you think this is a possability with your Brugs? Or do mites like one type of Brug more than others? Mine are all your basic common Brug, I cant find any other than peach, pink yellow and white. Are yours in the direct sun all day?
