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.
