while the leaves on the infected plants show sign of spot and speck its the infected stems that have me worried.
i've been dealing with bacterial issues since the start of the season. the brandywine varieties were completely stunted when disease struck. after i removed all infected leaves the new growth immediately had spots and the stems were infected as well. since my garden is heavily planted i thought best to just remove the worse looking plants.
cherokee purple followed soon after and the rest look manageable. i did replace the pulled plants with plum roma from the nursery and about 10 days later started showing signs of infection
what would you be spraying with to combat bacterial disease?
