Hello everyone.
I have a Chinese Elm with black spot disease. I've tried a couple of different fungicides with no results.
The tree gets about 6 hours if direct sunlight, I put it under an umbrella when I know it's going to rain so that the foliage remains dry, however, the morning dew is as bad as the rain itself.
My next step was going to be bringing it indoors and keeping it under full spectrum lighting for 12 hours a day.
Also, will be trying a systemic fungicide called Excel. I read good things about this product.
Someone in this forum advised me against bringing it indoors as this tree needs as much sun as possible.
Won't the full spectrum lighting work as well as keeping it outside?
I just need to keep the water off the foliage if this tree is going to beat black spot.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
