O.T. Possible Kiwifruit plant disease AYLS

Actinidia Friends,

I recently posted some new photos and an update on the AYLS (Actinidia Yellow Leaf Spot) Blog/Site.

Reports thus far in July from France and British Columbia, Canada have shown that AYLS is PRESENT in more locations than previously acknowledged.  If you grow any of the Actinidia species, please look carefully at your plants and file a Report using the Form on the AYLS Blog/Site:  http://kiwifruitayls.wordpress.com

If you grow Kiwifruit or any of the other Actinidia species (especially Hardy Kiwis where AYLS shows best), there are three things you can do to help find the cause:

1.  Visit the Blog/Site  http://kiwifruitayls.wordpress.com  and sign up to "Follow" it so you get automatic e-mail notification of new posts (only two thus far this year).
2.  Let all of your Actinidia growing friends know about the Blog/Site so we reach out beyond my own Kiwifruit contacts list.
3.  If you belong to NAFEX, CRFG, Home Orchard Society, or any other Fruit Growing Organization, write a quick note or article for publication in their Newsletter or on their Bulletin Board to increase knowledge and awareness about AYLS.

Happy Growing,   kiwibob

Please DO NOT reply to this post so we don't clutter the Figs 4 Fun Forum.  I will "bump" this post periodically.

All Forum Members and Visitors,

If you grow Kiwis, especially Hardy Kiwis, please visit the AYLS Blog/Site:  http://kiwifruitayls.wordpress.com
and fill out a Report form.  A few Reports have been trickling in recently but we really need to know where AYLS is ABSENT as well as PRESENT to assist in finding the cause!

Your cooperation is much appreciated.

Tyler,

Thanks for bumping this post.  Unfortunately your info that you filled out on the Blog never made it to me.

Many, many more Reports are still needed so I hope everyone on this Forum who grows Actinidia vines, especially Hardy Kiwifruit will take the time to Report via the form at:  http://kiwifruitayls.wordpress.com

Thanks,   kiwibob, Seattle

I added the photos to my initial post July 31, 2016.  Again, if you grow any of the Actinidia species, please take the time to visit the AYLS Blog/Site:  http://kiwifruitayls.wordpress.com  and file a Report on the form available on the Site.

Happy Growing,   kiwibob, Seattle
