BURNING BUSH LEAVES COMING IN FROM THE BOTTOM UP, NO LEAVES AS YET ON TOP BRANCHES

Question

WE HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE WET CLOUDY SPRING. ALL THREE OF MY BURNING BUSHES ARE GETTING LEAVES ON THE BOTTOM AND IN BETWEEN BUT NONE ON TOP

Answer 1

It will be hard to say without a photo, but it could very well be a fungal infection.

It is a good idea to trim off any growth that is completely dead, or brown, and treat the soil with a HANDFUL of DOLOMITIC LIME and a TABLESPOON of WETTABLE SULFUR per plant. This will condition the soil, and prevent infections during wet seasons.
