Question From: Holyoke, Massachusetts, United States
Q: my pachysandra looks awful. it is a very old bed but this year the leaves keep turning yellow and brown and there is a lot of dead plants.what to do?
A: Your pachysandra be is suffering from a virus - probably alfalfa mosaic virus which is attacking in the Northeast. For more information go to http://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/alfalfa-and-pachysandra/ Chances are it was there last year and went unnoticed or was ignored. It attacks plants under stress.
