Definitely not rust. I'd suggest the pots are a tad small for that much tree.

I had these pics on another thread and some thought it might be rust, some thought evidence of spidermites. The leaves eventually turned yellow and fall off. I have been treating my tree with a spray of fish emulsion mixed with water and whatever it is I believe it is getting better. My fingers are crossed. I also made sure to pick up the leaves as soon as I could after they fell and get them away from all plants in case it was a fungus of some sort.

Hydrangea leaves are getting yellow with rust spots

Unless the outbreak is very severe, I would not bother to treat for cercospora in a home garden. This tends to be primarily a nursery issue and most plants in the landscape will outgrow it. Just practice good sanitation and avoid overhead watering. Immunox is registered for this purpose (control of cercospora leaf spot) so I would not see the need to use a copper based fungicide as well. FWIW, I work in a nursery and bring home various unsalable or returned plants and nurse them back to health. Without exception all of those hydrangeas that have been afflicted with cercospora leaf spot show no sign of it the following season. The above plant does look extremely chlorotic (but otherwise relatively healthy) and a fertilizer may be advised. Often, less acidic soils do not allow proper absorption of iron, one of the primary causes of chlorosis, and acid lovers would benefit from chelated iron or a fertilizer for acid loving plants. These typically have iron supplements included. FWIW, sun only until 1:30pm should not be too much, although SC sun is much more intense than mine up here in the PNW. Your plant does not show obvious evidence of scorch and if it is not wilting excessively, it is probably sited OK.

Help! What is happening to my holly? Yellowing leaves, brown tips
Q
Comments (0)
I have a hedge, composed of about 6 holly bushes (I believe it is holly, not totally sure) that always looked great- leaves were dark green and the bush was always thick and full. Today I noticed that the bottom half of these bushes are bare, as if all the leaves fell off. The remaining leaves are now turning yellow, and the tips of many of them are dark brown. I have included a photo. Does anyone know what the culprit may be, and if there is anything I can do to mitigate the problem? Thank you in advance. Image link:

Vinca leaves with yellow dots/rust?
Q
Comments (3)
If it is rust, the backs of the leaves should have dark spots which correspond to the yellow dots on the top surface. If it is rust: - Stop any overhead irrigation. Or, at the very least, water early enough in the day that the leaves dry long before nightfall. - Remove and destroy any infected leaves. - Place the plant in a bright, airy site. - Hollyhock rust won't spread to vinca.

blueberry plant leaves rust help
Q

It's not a virus - rust is a fungal organism and blueberries are prone to a specific type of rust. ANY fungal disease can be common in the PNW (I think this is the fungal capitol of the universe!!) and various rusts affect all manner of plants here. They can be hard to control and do require the use of fungicides. Personally, I would exchange them for blemish-free plants........and tell the nursery employee this is not at all 'normal'.

Hi Buylady,

At the prodding from many here, very good, great friends, members and human beings, I am back.

It is ok, we are all here to help each other in different ways, with different views, and to encourage one another to be the best at growing these very, what can be finicky trees...

I figure, in my quest to keep them healthy after years of reading, research, and different techniques, associating with very experienced growers, while in the process loosing dozens and dozens of trees at a huge expense, I can help others avoid these same tragic experiences...

I enjoy it here mostly, because it is people like you that make it fun to come here and make happy..

Buylady, I agree with Jean, is is not rust..

In my opinion, it is the result of the sun beating on damaged leaves cause from so much damage from all the insects that have affected their growth and sucked the life out of them. They are shedding their leaves to make room for new healthy growth, and I wouldn't be concerned..Could be from overwatering still too, not sure on that though...

Much love

Mike
