photinia

This fungal leaf spot disease affects woody ornamentals in the rose family including indian hawthorne, red tip photinia, pear, serviceberry, flowering quince, and firethorn. Entomosporium leaf spot became so severe on red tips that the plant is no longer used in the landscape. How can we protect Indian Hawthorne from this leaf spot disease?

Disease Symptoms:

Fungal leaf spots are abundant throughout Coastal Georgia landscapes. Leaf spots can reduce shrubs appeal while also compromising plant health.

How do I control the leaf spot/blight on red tip photinias (red tips)?

The only control for this disease is to cut the bush down and plant something else. Sorry about that! Not all red tips get the disease, but all are susceptible to it.
 
Weather and the location and condition of the plant determine if the red tip gets the disease and how bad the disease is.
