We have received several calls at
the Master Gardener clinic regarding
the health of Pacific Madrone
(Arbutus menziesii) trees around the
county. Clients are wondering why
they all appear to be dying. If you
take a trip up Highway 3 north from
Shelton toward Allyn, you will notice
most of the Madrone trees seem to be
affected.
Jenny Glass, Plant Diagnostician
at WSU Research and Extension
Center in Puyallup, has released a
statement about what is happening
to Madrone trees all over the area.
The damage being observed is known
as leaf spot. She notes that the
problem is present in other counties
and states too.
They have badly damaged
Madrones at WSU Puyallup, Ms.
Glass has seen damaged plants in
Seattle and Whidbey Island, and
heard reports from Oregon and the
San Juan Islands. She states that
this is a common problem over the
past year. Alas, nothing practical
can be done for the trees. Go to:
http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/
ShowDisease.aspx?RecordID=704
for general recommendations for
leaf spot on Madrone.
Dr. Mariaime Elliott, at
WSU Puyallup, has determined
a cold temperature pathogen
Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis
(also a crabapple canker pathogen
and a stored apple rot) is responsible
for much of the damaged leaves.
