The upper (stump area) 1/4 of my plant has PM. I have been hitting it heavy alternating Mancozeb, Daconil and a systemic (Bonide Infuse).

Should I be removing all the infected leaves up top or just the worst ones? I think I can get some tertiary vines to fill the voids if I have to remove them all. I just don't want to kill my plant by removing too many leaves.

Big thanks,

Luke

Its already there...thats why prevention is key..removing the leaves will not help a lot. It may help increase airflow to the plant though.

Those just may be old leaves and not PM at all...
