A few days ago a worried gard
ner brought me a handful of a
zalea leaves which were thick
and fleshy and much distorted.
This is a disease known as leaf
gall and is quite common on a
zaleas and sasanqua camellias at
this time of the year. I have no
ticed it on some of my own aza
leas this spring. In cool, damp
weather it may become especially
severe.
The diseased portions of the
leaves become thick and fleshy
and have a pale yellowish-green
color. "At maturity the galls are
covered with a white powdery
material which consists of the
spores of the fungus, by means
of which it is spread to other
leaves and plants. Although leaf
gall will weaken the plant if the
infection is severe, gardeners
snould not become unduly alarm
ed. It is not as bad as it looks.
You can control this disease
fairly effectively by picking off
the infected leaves and burning
them. This should be done before
they develop spores which will in
feet other leaves. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture or Captan at
two week intervals from late
March until May will control leaf
gall. It is too late to apply the
spray this year. The sprays
should be timed so that they will
miss the blooms as much as pos
sible in order to avoid staining
and discoloration.
Azalea leaf gall usually disap
pears when the weather becomes
hot and dry but will probably
appear again next spring if wea
ther conditions are favorable.
