Burn Holes in Leaves

Early July, possibly earlier- i have personally noticed a change in some of the leaves in my crops. I am not sure what this is from, other than knowing that there has been a release of over 2 million gallons of chemical dispersant in the gulf of mexico. Is this related? Please link up to this video, comment with another video. The oil spill is stopped!!! the media is gone! It all will unfold with thing like this. Are our eyes open?

"who needs trees anyways"???????????????????/

are you out of your mind?

Charles Manson has warned Americans to stop killing our air water and wildlife.

Now imagine an earth without trees!

Charles Manson (an innocent political prisoner, he never killed anyone, he was the warning one) for president now...

A T W A Air/trees/water/wildlife

Take one of those 4 away and the earth is finished.

Burning can be a solution only to PREVENT the SPREAD of a real plant DISEASE. Keep in mind that fungus are an important part of the eco system, break down organic matter like leaves, or are important for healthy soil to grow healthy food. Fire kills lots of spiders, bugs, insect eggs and microbes, too. Therefore you should really wait for the replies of the botanical gardens or plant disease experts. Inform yourself first to take the appropriate decision based on a correct analysis.

The oil catastrophe will have an impact on nature. However there are a number of different fungus which can affect specific plants and therefore can cause such symptoms. Search on the search engines for: "Rhytisma acerinum, Tar Spot Fungus" and "Diplocarpon rosae" or "Marssonina". Best contact the Botanical Gardens in your state to find out if it is really caused by the oil and ask them what you should do with the leaves. Burn the leaves, if allowed, if they are affected by a fungus.

I live in Queens, New York and my neighborhood has many trees that are dying or wilting with these kinds of burn marks. It's not every kind of tree, but maples seem to be one of the main groups that are getting the hardest hit. I have a wild blackberry tree in my backyard that looks really wilted and burnt. My son's school planted trees in the spring and every one of them is dead. I've been feeding the birds because I'm afraid that blackberries aren't going to come in again. What's going on?

i think it's too late. get out or die.

What do you grow in your organic garden?

[neallie1]

There are the same burn holes in the leaves of all the trees in my neighborhood here in Boston.

Any update on how your plants are doing?

there are 3 toxic chemicals so far found in the oil, a sample was taken in may and a video on youtube he took the sample to his buddy to test what was in it, hydrogen sulfide, benzene, methylene chloride. please look up these definitions, and i bet those arent the only chemicals in corexit either. Buy as much food as you can cuz nothing is going to grow next year here, God Bless You
