Cure for black spots on Photinia?
I have a mature (10 + years old) photinia in my front yard that has black spots on it. What can I do to get rid of the problem?

disease
if you have a redtip, it is most likely going to die. they are prone to a root disease that is practically impossible to control. this disease can be spread by useing hedge clippers from plant to plant. if you must trim, clean the clippers with a bleach and water solution before moving to other plants. the chinese photinias dont seem to be bothered by this fungus.
