I'm wondering if there is any possible issue with trasmission of Dutch
Elm Disease to Hosta?
Not particularly worried, but my primary hosta bed was once shaded by a
huge elm. Said elm has since sucumbed to DED. My hosta bed is some
what mulched with saw dust from removal of tree. In addition, while the
tree was dying, sap ran from the branches and soaked my hosta below.
Haven't seen any ill effects other than burn do to loss of canopy but in
the back of my mind I wonder if I may see some disease in the plants
below.
Anybody care to commnet?
Thanks,
Mike
