Leaf Rust on Weeping Mulberry: Organic Atomic Grow

Brown "rash" on weeping mulberry leaves each rainy season, with tiny green flies present, indicates a rust fungus. The flies may be incidental or secondary. Atomic Grow has cleared this problem on the author's mulberries.

Organic Protocol

Spray Atomic Grow on foliage every 7-10 days during wet periods.
New growth emerges clean and stays rust-free.
Totally organic; safe for fruit, pollinators, and pets.

Rake fallen leaves to reduce overwintering spores. Healthy trees resist rust better.
