Patio Ligustrum Leaf Spot and Root Rot: Dual Disease Management

Lorraine's patio ligustrum shows round brown spots with yellow borders—suspected root rot.

Expert Diagnosis

Kathy confirmed both leaf spot and root rot diseases attack ligustrum. Leaf spot fungi cause premature drop with characteristic light-dark brown spots with yellow borders.

Control Measures

• Destroy infected leaves
• Apply fungicide (both necessary)
• Organic option: Atomic Grow (heals and improves health)

Key Insight

The combined cultural (sanitation) and chemical/organic approach addresses both foliar and root phases of the disease complex.
