    Do they sell Phyton 27 in the UK? I sure hope they do, it is the mildest, strongest antibiotic or antifungal that I know of. I have used on Acers to Zinnias. It stops the crud cold and a foliar app. is often all it takes. I never leave home without it, I keep it locked and loaded and my finger on the trigger, dam mean fungus.

    What is the best copper based fungicide that is used in Europe and such places I have only read about in fary tails.

    Spray the tree as in yesterday, and do a soil drench. I have found that I have as little as 24 hours to save a young tree. I also try to keep my trees up off the ground so the evil fungi will not jump up on my little trees when it rains. Employ the mycorhiza fungi to gard your trees cosi they grow to be health e happy e da ripe old age vecchiaia

    Treat the trees again in late summer, if you like.
