RE: Fungus

Hi Janet,

Armillaria is promoted by overwatering.  Perhaps the neighbors need to cut back
on their irrigation.  Prevent sprinkler water from hitting trunks of trees and
shrubs.  Use drippers on roses and position them away from the crown.  Cut the
duration in half and see what happens.  Established roses need much less water
than newly planted ones.

Cheers,
Bracey
