Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Hello Amy. I live in Wharton, Texas on about 2.5 acres. My yard is about 7 years old, and before that was just a native pecan woodlands. I have been losing well-established plants, i.e., old garden roses, bottlebrush tree, plum tree, etc) over the past few years. I sent one of the roses off to A&M Plant Lab and the diagnosis was Armillaria Fungus. I have since talked to people in the area and others have had the problem so it is not yard specific. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to counter this problem? Thanks, Carolyn

Use an organic fungicide like corn gluten meal or garlic fungicide and treat the soil, you can also make a raised bed and bring in fresh soil to plant new plants in.
