Weather conditions in Southwest Florida this winter were both cooler at night and warmer during the day. This unusual combination has caused the defoliation of one of the area's favorite privacy hedges, Viburnum 'Awabuki'.
Dr. Doug Caldwell from the University of Florida in Collier County explains how 2 different disease pathogens have created this problem and shows what to do about it.
Doug is joined by Debbie Gogan, Certified Operator at The Vineyards, (a lushly planted North Naples community) and discusses her successful methods in controlling it.
