Question
My Box Wood evergreen are dying from Phytophthora Root rot. How can I get rid of or control the Phytophthora?

Answer
Robert,

The best way to cotrol this disease is with a granular fungicide called Subdue. This fungicide needs to be applied in the spring when the soil temeperatures reach 50 to 60 degrees. This is the time this disease is most vulnerable to the fungicide. You can put it down now to slow the spread of the disease, but it will not cure it.

Good luck,
