Viburnum tinus
Viburnum tinus varieties have recently been suffering from a root fungi problem known as Phytophthora. The naming of this comes from the Greek words ‘phyton’ (plant) and ‘phthora’ (destruction) and translates into ‘the plant destroyer’. It is capable of causing enormous losses at nurseries and garden centres and has recently been recognised as a problem on the evergreen Viburnums by DEFRA (The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). With this in mind our suppliers have chosen not to grow these products for the moment as they are not totally confident they are going to be ‘clean’. Obviously this has a knock-on effect to our range and so we will also not be stocking this product until we are entirely satisfied the problem has been controlled. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we do feel it is the safest solution for all our customers.
Impatiens (Busy Lizzies)
This summer has once again proved to be catastrophic for our Busy Lizzies. It is not the first time we have seen this problem. The straggerly, lack luster plants have been struck by a mildew. Impatien Downey Mildew thrives in wet summers and was thought to have been imported in 2003. Until now the growers have been able to control the problem with commercial fungicides but it seems that mildew has become resistant to even this. The airborne spores can survive for several years but will only affect Busy Lizzies. It is not believed to affect the New Guinea Impatiens as yet. We strongly recommend that customers do not buy Busy Lizzies until the industry is completely satisfied there is no longer a problem. We cannot possibly say when that might be, but we will keep everybody informed on any developments as we get them. So until this is resolved may we suggest the bedding Begonia.
