Fire may limit dogwood anthracnose

[John Paul Sanborn]

UF/IFAS researchers are investigating why dogwood trees in fire-burned
areas seem to escape the ravages of the dogwood anthracnose that is
destroying dogwoods along the East Coast and the Southeast United States.

A link to the press release is now available on the UF/IFAS Pest Alert site.

Seems like a rather harsh treatment, IMO.


"Yes, ma'am. We can cure that sick dogwood. Yo, Bubba, gas up the flame thrower."
