Who else has this common fungal disease? What would you do to treat it? What worked for you?
Thanks
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Thanks jamie, did you use any of those homemade spray with good results? This seems to only affect my azaleas only and looks like I may have to totally defolliage all of them.
