What are those weird spots on my tree, and how do I get rid of them? Join Nicholas J. Brazee, Plant Pathologist with UMass Extension, for an introduction to the most common plant diseases in this region, from beech leaf disease to needle cast diseases in conifers. Learn how to recognize these fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and how to treat them to keep your plants looking their best.
This program takes place outdoors as a walking tour, giving us the opportunity to observe these plant diseases firsthand in their natural setting.
