Hello,
I had submitted a question yesterday and got a great response but I have a follow question. I am worried I have Aster Yellows spreading through my garden. When I took the photo of the goldenrod yesterday, I only noticed that it was curled at the top. Today, I noticed something different, many of the goldenrods have extra green growth near the top. I've attached a photo. I will try to get a sample to the plant lab but that likely won't happen until the end of the week. Any new insights would be appreciated.

Your goldenrod looks perfectly healthy in these photos. There are many varieties of goldenrod and they often have those extra small leaves on the stems.
I checked on your previous question and agree with the answers.
