We brought a Ivy from my aunts estate cleanout but have no idea whether its an ivy or not. The shrub is part of a line of shrubs in my yard. I have sprayed them twice and they appear to do well for a few days after spraying but continue to relapse. I have pulled two no gos already.
The one on the right is a Chinese Holly. Find out what is wrong with it before undertaking a treatment. Your local Cooperative Extension office may be able to tell you what to do.
Vine may be Amphicarpaea bracteata (American hogpeanut). Chinese Holly, I. cornuta 'Burfordii' and similar may be suffering heat/sun /moisture stress in our current drought.
I checked the Extension Service of Bexar county. I believe the disease on the shrub is cotton root rot. The roots are rotted and have white strands and webbed globs throughout. I checked out some pics of American Hogpeanut and I thought that the leaves were a perfect match. My wife tells me the blossom looks more like a Climbing Shell Vine from a picture in House of Wesley. Thanks again for primary info.
