Question From: n. nikolaidis - MICHIGAN
Q: hello, i have i Forsythia on my garden purchase from a local place in MICHIGAN. Would you kindly see the 2 photos of the leaves have a kind of brown and green color , but not dried out. Is this a type of fungus, should i spray them w neem oil or copper ? any advise please --thnk you

A: Photos did not come through. My guess is heat and possible drought stress. Keep them well watered and see how they do in spring. Bestand Happy Yardening, Nancy
