Indian Hawthorn Problem/Disease - 2006/12/31 08:49I have seven Eleanor Tabor (pink) Indian Hawthorns that I planted a little over a year ago. All the outer, lower foliage is gone leaving only the top center with any leaves. A landscaper was recently at my neighbor's house and I asked him about it. He said it is a disease/fungus (he didn't know the name) which frequently afflicts these plants to the point where he has quit planting them. I'm in Zone 7. Does anyone know what this is and/or what the cure is? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
re:Indian Hawthorn Problem/Disease - 2007/01/01 13:55the common name strikes again!) They are a warm-whether plant (they do OK in zone 8, but Id doubt there health in zone 7).
re:Indian Hawthorn Problem/Disease - 2007/01/02 00:46Related, as in Rosaceae? OK, but that's a pretty big group, I can't find any indication that they are placed anywhere near Crataegus, so the relationship seems pretty distant.
And I've only scene leaf spot on Rahpiolepis (or Rhaphiolepis). Dirr mentions leaf spot, but NOT fire blight.
