Title: brown leaved horsechestnuts
Post by: David R on July 12, 2006, 13:17:20
Has anyone else noticed this on their local trees?

I live in Northwest Kent and lots of our horsechestnuts show a rust like browning of the leaves - the trees look quite sorry for themselves and was wondering if our horsechestnuts were in for a dutch elm episode

They can suffer from lack of water when young, but last year this was published:
