Hello,
I just received in Fine Line Buckthorn from grower to discover they all have leaf fungus orange and curling some type of rust fungus. Is it treatable and with what can I use?
Thank you

Deb, unfortunately we do not have good ways to diagnose plant pathogens over Ask Extension. I would recommend that you reach out to the MSU Plant & Pest Diagnostic lab. You can email our plant pathologist, Dr. Jan Byrne, directly at <personal data hidden>. A sample may be requested for a more thorough diagnosis so that the best recommendations can be made.
