Hi, Is Calycanthus Susceptible To Verticillium Wilt?

Question

Hi, I have an Acer that is dying from verticillium wilt and am looking for a replacement shrub to go in its place. If Calycanthus raulstonii Hartlage Wine is not suitable what do you recommend? Thank you Chris

Answer 1

It is not on any lists as being either way. For a list of plants and trees, both, susceptible and immune, refer to this list from an extension in Washington state:
