Hello Paul,
Arisaema rust has been a serious and spreading problem up and down the east coast
for some years now in the wild. The last three years has been exceptionally bad
with the mild winters and early springs placing even more stress on the plants.
Some species are more likely to get the rust than others. Arisaema triphyllum is
high on the list to be number #1,but the other native, A. dracontium does not seem
to be effected. A. amurense has been removed from my garden as it emerges early
and catches the rust first thing from the triphyllium.
All effected arisaema have been removed from my garden the minute I see a hint of
rust and destroyed. This includes a few that came from a very expensive and
exclusive nursery where I paid $35 a pop. They came with the rust.
I have ordered seeds from Germany of our native to ensure I do not send the rust
along. You will find extensive information on the subject in the Arisama-L
archives.
