    Hi all,

    I've IDed a problem on my little potted azalea as "leaf gall" (Exobasidium fungus). From what I've read it is really not a big problem at all but if I can do something safe and easy about it I sure would like to. I'm wondering if spraying sulfur power/water suspension on the foliage. I ask because I have lots of the powder and no use for it ;)

    Would this help?

    Would this hurt?

    Or should I just pluck off the ugly leaves and not worry about it?

    Thank's a lot,
    M.
