The tusks are massively brown in the gardens. It's not a drought, it's a dangerous disease! Act immediately

Many garden owners are anxiously watching their beautiful green hedges from here abruptly start to brown and dry. The first thought is usually drought and water scarcity, especially during summertime heat. Unfortunately, in many cases intensive watering not only does not help, but even makes the situation worse. The real culprit is frequently an insidious and highly dangerous fungal illness that attacks from the roots and in short time can destruct the full plant and even the full hedge. Experts inform that it is simply a real plague in Polish gardens in 2025.

The problem is that symptoms of the illness to be imagined match the effects of deficiency of water – needles yellow, brown and fall. This lulls the vigilance of gardeners who waste valuable time on improper actions. By the time they realize it's not a drought, it might be besides late for rescue. knowing what's truly happening to your Tujas is absolutely crucial. Fast and correct diagnosis and immediate intervention are the only chance to save the green wall that adorns your plot.

Why is he wearing brown? It's not always the drought.

When you see your hands start losing a healthy green color, you gotta act like a detective. Although physiological drought is simply a possible cause, especially in winter, there is something much more dangerous behind the problem: fetoftorosis. It is simply a deglab illness caused by fungi-like organisms of the genus Phytophthorawhich attacks the plant's root system. The improvement of the pathogen is conducive high humidity and crushed, impermeable substratewhere there's water. Paradoxically, trying to save the “snoring” here by intense watering, we can make perfect conditions for her silent killer.

How does this work in practice? The pathogen penetrates the roots, causing them to rot. The damaged roots are incapable to draw water or nutrients from the soil. As a result, the plant on the top looks like it is dying of thirst, while its base sinks in a pathogenic environment. Browning usually progresses from the bottom of the plant upwards or outwardsWhich is an crucial diagnostic signal. Unlike drought, which frequently causes a more even drying of the full plant, phytoftorosis attacks gradually but relentlessly.

Phytophoresis – a silent killer in your garden. How do you admit her?

Establishing the correct diagnosis is crucial for an effective fight. Just browning the needles is not adequate to be 100% sure. However, there is simply a simple test that you can do on your own. Go to the base of the trunk of the sick tui and mildly scrape with the scissors the top layer of the bark, just above the ground. If the tissue underneath is healthy, it should be creamy-white or somewhat greenish. But if you announcement red brown or brown discolorationIt's a beautiful certain sign that Phytophoresis attacked your plant.

Other symptoms that should light a red light are:

• Gradual yellowing followed by browning and fading of single shoots.
• Mating needles that lose their natural shine.
• The plant easy leaves the ground erstwhile trying to pull due to the fact that its root strategy is reduced and rotten.
• Growth inhibition compared to neighbouring, healthy copies.

It is besides worth mentioning another diseases, specified as Grey mold (specific grey, dusty raid) or dying shoots (brown beginning with the tops of twigs), however, it is fytoftorosis that is the most common origin of mass death of full hedges.

A rescue for you here. This spray should be applied immediately.

If the diagnosis indicates phytoftorosis, you must act immediately. Unfortunately, heavy damaged plants whose root strategy is already mostly destroyed are unsavable. They should be dig and burn as shortly as possibleso that they do not constitute a origin of infection for the remainder of the garden. Don't put them on the compost!

For other, yet healthy or somewhat infected tui, it is essential to usage appropriate measures. In the case of phytoftorosis, spraying on the green part alone is not adequate due to the fact that the illness develops in the roots. It is essential to water plants with a fungicide. search in garden shops products containing active substances specified as propamocarb is aluminium fosetyl. Preparations specified as Proplant 722 SL, Magnicur Energy or Aliette S.C. are designed to combat glacial diseases. Apply them strictly as recommended by the manufacturer, watering the abundantly root region of each endangered tui.

As support and prevention can be utilized homemade yeast spray. Dissolve 100 g of fresh baking yeast in 10 liters of hot water (you can add half a cup of sugar to activate it). After an hour, the solution is ready to water and spray plants. Yeast, as useful fungi, compete with pathogens for space and nutrients, limiting their development.

Better to prevent than treat. How to defend it in 2025?

The fight against phythorosis is difficult, and the best strategy is prevention. appropriate care and optimal conditions for growth are 90% success. The most crucial is the quality of the substrate. Tuje hatred “wet feet”. If you have dense clay dirt in your garden, you must mix it with sand and compost or a peculiar ground for needles to guarantee a good drainage.

Another key component is rational watering. Water little often, but abundantly, so that water reaches deeper root layers. Let the earth somewhat dry between the waterings. Avoid constantly spraying and keeping mud around the trunks. It is besides worth utilizing bedding with pine bark, which not only reduces the evaporation of water and the growth of weeds, but besides somewhat acidifies the soil, which favours here and reduces the improvement of any pathogens.

Remember that healthy, well fed plants are much more resistant to disease. Regularly usage fertilizers for needles, rich in magnesium, which prevents browning needles for physiological reasons.

In conclusion, the browning sound is an alarm signal that must not be ignored. alternatively of immediately reaching for a hose with water, execute an accurate diagnosis by checking the trunk base. If you confirm the presence of phytoftoresis, act decisively: remove dead plants and water the remainder with a specialized fungicide. Remember, however, that the best defence is prevention – appropriate foundation and wise watering is the foundation of a healthy and beautiful hedge for years.
