Amelanchier tree mildew treatment gone wrong!
Dear fellow gardeners,
We have three beautiful (and until recently healthy) amelanchier trees in our garden. They recently all started to show signs of powdery mildew.
After researching different treatments, we decided to spray them with neem oil (diluted as per the packaging instructions). We did the work on a cool evening with no direct sun. To our great shock, all three trees have started to drop leaves like in autumn. The leaves are slightly yellow and have black spots (see attached images).
We are at a loss what to do next and really want to save our trees. Has anyone had a similar experience and can help? Many thanks in advance. D + J
