What's up the this Double Decker?
My Weird Double Decker
This double decker was purchase from Bluestone and has been growing in a 1 gallon container since last fall. I have about 6 of them in containers and t his is the only one that looks OUT of This World!!
Anyone else got some of these?
sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this looks like aster yellows disease to me.
it's spread by leafhoppers and can harbor with the leafhopper eggs in the soil.
treatment - remove the affected plants and put them in the trash (NOT your compost). toss the soil also and hope it hasn't spread.
here is a link to a site with more info:
