We have started a Native Plant Garden in Lions Bay on the west coast of BC, where we have what should be a fine display of snowberry plants. Unfortunately the leaves are covered with a grayish mold or fungus or??? Any suggestions for a cure or treatment? Louis.
Snowberries are occassionally afflicted with anthracnose and powdery mildew. I'm in Port Coquitlam and as you are north west of here on the ocean, you also had a very wet but warmish spring. I'm going to presume you have powdery mildew Try putting a tablespoon of baking soda in a litre of water and do a test spray. Other than that, all you could do is wipe the leaves off in the high profile areas, with a damp cloth. Try to maintain better air circulation if that's part of the problem.
