Photinia x fraseri

Question from Paul Cramp

Hi there

I have an issue with a Photinia x fraseri. It seems to have developed spots on the leaves which i feel maybe virus related. The tree has not been 100% for some time and wish to find a solution to improve its chance of survival. We do get quite strong cross winds here and are currently having issues with frost damage on some smaller photinia bush hedging which is some 40m away but it is totally dis-similar to the issue on the single tree. I have enclosed 2 photos however are not of great quality and will try to add more tomorrow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, many thanks. TLG

    Paul - I remember reading somewhere about Photinia suffering from disease after a neighbour lost a rather large one.
    Have a look here....
