I have been controlling Phomopsis tip blight with Daconil and a copper fungicide called Liqui-Cop, although I think any copper fungicide would work. I try to trade them off in rotation to avoid disease mutation and resistance problems. Some use a systemic fungicide with good results, but I have not tried those. It is probably best to have three fungicides rather than two. So far I’ve managed to control my moderate problems with only two.

I appreciate that you write frequent “tree care” posts besides the usual “styling” pieces.

I´ve had some problems with tip blights recently and was wondering what fungicides you used to control them? Sometimes it seems you end caught up in a cycle of pruning away affected branches but the nasties just keep popping up.

Would love to hear your comments on this.

Best regards,

Juan
