Rhododendron Has Dry Black Leaves

Question From: R. upson - WASHINGTON
Q: Is there some kind of spray I can use on my Rhodies to get rid of this black dry leaf problem?

A: If you sent a photo it did not come through. My guess is you have a fungal disease. I recommend you take photos of the leaves, tops and bottoms to a good independent garden center or nursery that sells these plants. They may be able to recommend fungicide which should be applied at bud swell and repeated according to directions. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
