Plant of the Month: August 2019

Some plant diseases and insect pests as shown in photographs by ALJ.
Below I share 11 photographs showing common plant diseases and insect pests photographed by me in Seattle. An entire article could be devoted to each, but I am far too busy to do so. Other photos could show damage from insufficient water; frost damage; herbicide damage; and plants in need of fertilizer, or trees suffering from delayed graft-incompatibility. Perhaps I can get around to those in the future.
