Top 4 Tree and Shrub Diseases:

Leaf Spot

Leaf spot is a disease cause by bacteria. Leaf Spot is most active under hot, humid conditions. The leaf spots first emerge as water-soaked spots but then turn reddish-brown to black in color that are somewhat circular in shape.

Powdery Mildew

Powdery mildew is a usual disease for ornamental plants caused by fungi. Powdery mildew appears as a dusty white to gray coating over leaf surfaces or other plant parts. This disease seldom causes serious damage but can discolor leaves

Phytophthora Root Rot

Phytophthora Root Rotis almost always the result of over-watering, root damage or prior drought stress. Phythophthora Root Rot is a very difficult to control fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Dogwoods, Hemlocks, Japanese Hollys, and Junipers are just a few of the plants affected. This disease is most active in warm soil temperatures with high soil moisture. Plants under stress from drought, defoliation, low soil aeration, and other stress agents are most prone.

Botrytis Blight

Botrytis Blight is a fungal disease and is one of the most common diseases in the PNW. Azaleas, Begonias, Carnations, Chrysanthemum, Petunias and Rhododendrons are common plants to get Botrytis Blight. This disease causes water-soaked tan, brown or gray spots or streaks to appear on the flower petals, leaves, buds and stems. Most common are translucent or grayish spots.
