Non-Chemical Management
- Plant in sunny locations.
- Space trees and prune to provide good air circulation.
- Clean up and destroy fallen leaves from beneath infected trees. Powdery mildew can overwinter in infected leaf debris.
- Provide proper culture. Do not overfertilize, as succulent new growth late in the season is particularly susceptible.
- Prune and destroy severely infected twigs and branches to reduce spread of disease.
