Dear group,
some plants of my 100 meters long rosemary hedge are showing symptoms of a
disease I am not familiar with. The bark, on the branchlets, is developing
areas with disordered, excessive tissue, that looks like cork. All parts
above this "cankers" die , because obviously this anomalous growth blocks
the sap. Whole parts of the infected plants are collapsing. Unfortunately
this reminds me very much of a similiar disease that attacks oleanders and
sometimes olives, due to a bacterium called pseudomonas. Any idea of what
my rosemaries are suffering from, and above all, how do I fight it?
Thanks a lot,
Alessandra
