Comments (2)I'm new here and just found this posting. I am having a similar problem with my Vincas. This year we had tons of rain in Dallas and I lost several pots (clay) of them. Replaced and it's happenning again. The stems at some point look like they have been stripped of "bark" then the leaves wilt, it falls over at that point on the stem. It spreads to others in the pot and nearby. How to stop? Just watch the watering? Thanks...See MorePlease post pics of your citrus leaf problems-help w/ ID of cause
Comments (59)Could be a fungus like Vladimir said, could also be an insect egg or just dirt on a bit of fluff. However, I'm more concerned with how dusty the leaves are. I may just be dust or it could be the beginnings of a spider mite infestation. It's a good idea to wash off the leaves from time to time, like maybe every 4-6 weeks. Take them outside and hose them off, or if that's not possible, put them in the shower and shower them off with cool water. Then let them drain well and put them back where they were. It helps prevent spider mites as they're attracted to dusty plants. And your plants love the rinsing off!...See MorePear tree leaf rust problem
Comments (7)"Certain other trees (that have similar looking foliage to juniper) can also harbor the fungus." That is not correct. Only junipers are hosts to the various Rosaceae plants affected by this fungal issue. But they are not limited to just the eastern red "cedar" or Juniperus virginiana that gave the disease its name - various other juniper species can be hosts as well, many of them common landscape plants. This tends not to be a big issue here in the PNW. What does tend to be somewhat more common is pear trellis rust, Gymnosporangium sabinae. It tends to be rather common on pear leaves but appears much later in the season - like midsummer rather than spring - than does the very common cedar-apple rusts. And far less disfiguring to the fruit. There is also a distinctly different but somewhat related disease, Pacific Coast pear rust/ aka cedar broom rust. It DOES have a non-juniper host, Calocedrus decurrens or incense cedar. These are native to the west coast and also pretty unique to this area. But no mistaking them for a juniper - these get to be huge trees of 40-60' or more!! This is far less common as incense cedars are not nearly as commonly or as widely planted as are junipers....See Morezen_man
