To All:

I am a member of the Midwest Bonsai Society in Chicago.

Currently I have 8 pines...all Scots or Mugos.

For 3 years all have been in fine health, but now all have needle cast to some degree.

It has been very wet here all spring. All have received weekly Daconil [Clorothalonil] treatment for the past 2 weeks.

Would appreciate any other care recommendations e.g. copper fungicides [as certain needle casts are responsive to this].

I was instructed to remove and destroy affected needles.

Thank you.

Best regards,

D/D
