Pussy Willow Leaves Are Yellow And Have Small Holes And White Spots

Question From: Marple, , United Kingdom
Q: The leaves are yellow have holes in and some have white spots on them

A: Your pussy willow may have more than one issue. Below is a website with many photos of leaf spot diseases - the yellow with holes. The white spots may be powdery mildew. I would take some samples of damages leaves to your local independent garden center or nursery that sells these plants for another opinion and recommendation of treatment. I live in Michigan in the USA. Also inspect the branches of the shrub for any damage and take pictures if you find them. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
