Hi Brian.

I remember your thread from last season. For those of you elsewhere, we're=
 looking at London Planes, Platanus x hispanica if memory serves, one of th=
e more important and common amenity species in NZ and more and more commonl=
y suffering from this anthracnose. Recently I was asked to treat an avenue=
 of these here in Tauranga, about 20 trees up to 15 metres tall which have =
been getting a bit worse every year, not as bad as your first photo though.=
  Unfortunately the property has been sold and I may not get to finish the =
program. For the foliar application - ACT with seaweed, molasses and a gro=
und application with seaweed , humic acid and fish hydrolyzate. The plan i=
s to do a second application after 1 month.

Could you share with us some detail of your application? A very useful an=
ecdotal observation. Thankyou for sharing the photos.

Cheers Matt Leamy

  As a side trial a tree suffering from foliar antracnose outside my
  office was looking rather poorly last year. After 3 applications of
  tea late 2003, early 2004 the tree is looking a lot better this
  spring. I have sprayed another application of tea on 5/11 of this
  month and the tree is looking a lot more healthier. I've posted some
  photos on the compost tea yahoo group site (photos21-24). There is a
  control photo of a nearby tree that has had no tea applied. It is
  looking not so good as compared to the tree that has 4 applications
  of tea. This is not a scientific result but enough to give a rookie
  some confidence to keep on working with tea.
  Cheers

  I've been following this list for some time and it has been a
  valuable learning forum. My input has been nil because I'm still a
  rookie and learning the many variables of compost tea. The last
  summer here in New Zealand I trialled tea on pasture. Still very much
  in the learning phase with mixed results. I expect to be on track and
  have better results this summer though.
