PROBLEMS TO EXPECT

Every shrub species grown in Kansas can be expected to be afflicted with some problem during its lifetime. The most common problems are insect and disease attacks. These usually can be controlled by routine spraying. Knowledge of the problems make it easier to diagnose and correct before they become severe.

Soil alkalinity or high pH may also limit the use of some plants. Iron chlorosis is a common problem with some shrubs grown in the western half of Kansas. This is easily corrected by applying iron sulfate or iron chelate to the plant or soil.

Your local County Extension Agent can assist you with the diagnosis of any disease, insect, or cultural problem.

All Kansas Extension educational programs and materials are available to all individuals without discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or religion.
