Amelanchier (Shadbush, Serviceberry) Diseases
Infected flowers are killed and often remain attached throughout the season. The ends of twigs and branches become brown or black and may curl over into a shepherd’s crook shape. Dead leaves may remain attached to the tree. Cankers formed the previous season may ooze a cloudy liquid during wet spring weather. Branches will be killed as slightly sunken cankers enlarge into larger branches and even into the main trunk.
Note: Available in PDF only; not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.

Boston Ivy Leaf Spot
The fungus Guignardia bidwellii f. sp. parthenocissi causes distinct, angular, tan, spots to form on Boston ivy leaves in the spring and summer. A dark brown halo or margin along the edge of the spot is usually present. Within the tan areas, small black dots (fungal fruiting structures where new spores develop) can be observed soon after the spot reaches full size. Branch dieback occurs if the disease is very severe. A close relative of this fungus attacks grapes and causes the disease called black rot during which a leaf spot and berry rot occurs.

Cedar-Apple and Related Rusts on Ornamentals
Cedar-apple rust and closely related diseases, cedar-quince and cedar-hawthorn rusts, are caused by fungi belonging to the genus Gymnosporangium. These fungi require two different living host plants in order to complete their life cycles. If either host plant is not present, the fungus dies. Juniper, sometimes called cedar, is one host while alternate hosts include apple, hawthorn, quince, and shadbush or serviceberry, depending upon the species of fungus involved.
