Mix horticultural oil at a 2% solution with water (5 tablespoons per gallon of water) to control powdery mildew. Myclobutanil, propiconazole, and thiophanate-methyl have foliar systemic properties and can be sprayed less often than sulfur, copper fungicides, or horticultural oil. Fungicides will protect foliage from infection (by killing the mildew spores as they germinate) but will not remove the dense, white fungal growth from infected leaves. Chemical applications should begin before new foliage is infected. Plant in a sunny area, do not crowd plants, and avoid overhead watering. Prevention & Treatment: Prune and destroy heavily diseased branches. On young shoots, leaves can become curled and scarred if the infection is severe. Leaves may yellow slightly and drop, but heavy leaf drop is not a characteristic symptom. Symptoms consist of a flat, white to gray growth primarily on the upper surfaces of the leaves, which can be partially rubbed off. It is caused by the fungus Oidium euonymi-japonici. Powdery Mildew: Powdery mildew is the most common and possibly the most difficult disease to control on euonymus. ![]() ![]() For more information on growing euonymus, refer to HGIC 1063, Euonymus.

Where appropriate plant a local native shrub or tree.There are 60 different forms of euonymus available from American sources. Monitor the site for a least a year and treat any regrowth or seedlings (seeds survive more than 1 year in soil). Overall spray (all year round): triclopyr 600EC (60ml/10L + penetrant) or metsulfuron methyl 600g/kg (5g/10L + penetrant). Cut and paint stump (all year round): cut stems near ground level and paint stumps with metsulfuron methyl 600g/kg (5g/L) or a product containing 100g picloram+300g triclopyr/L (100ml/L) or triclopyr 600EC (100ml/L) or glyphosate (200ml/L).ģ. Hand pull small plants and seedlings (all year round). Which habitats is it likely to invade?įorest, forest margins, shrubland, scrubland, cliffs, dry sites, hedges, urban areas. ![]() What damage does it do?įorms dense thickets in the open and in the shade, blocking light and space for native understorey plants and seedlings. Produces many seeds which germinate freely and are spread widely by birds, and sprouts (suckers) from its root system. It is poisonous so is not grazed by stock. Tolerates a wide range of conditions including shade, warm and cold temperatures, wind, poor soils and moderate to low rainfall. It has round instead of 4-lobed seed capsules, and bark on young branches becomes wrinkled. japonicus) is similar but evergreen, with thicker leaves. Clusters of 2-15 flowers (8-10 mm diameter, Nov-Dec) with four narrow and widely separated greenish-yellow petals are followed by 4-lobed, deep pink seed capsules (Mar-May) that ripen to expose bright orange flesh covering each seed. Flower buds are greenish and usually 4-angled. ![]() Paired oval leaves (2-10 cm) with pointed tips, margins with shallow rounded teeth, and 6-12mm leaf stalks usually turn red in autumn. Much-branched, deciduous shrub or small tree (<6m tall) with smooth, grey bark and young branches that are square, green and smooth.
