Peter – my sand cherry appears to have contracted honey fungus or Armillaria. What’s the best way to treat this and can I get something at Hewitts?
Sadly there is no treatment for honey fungus…removal of the plant and roots is suggested since it will spread. HERE A LINK to more about honey fungus. There is anecdotal evidence that introducing mycorrhizae fungi may also have some benefit. That is available at Hewitt’s in the form of Bio-tone plant food. There’s no guarantee that it will cure the sand cherry but might be worth a try.
