Anyone who purchased rhododendron or lilac plants from Walmart or Rural King between March and May should immediately dispose of the plants in a way to prevent further spread of the disease, officials with the state agriculture department’s Division of Plant Health said. Infected plants can be destroyed by burning, deep burial or double-bagging the plant — including the root ball — in heavy duty trash bags for disposal. To prevent further spreading, do not compost. I just saw this posted on fb and thought to share the word.
