I planted a few pussy willow branches a couple years ago and I now have a big bush! I did start to prune it back this summer after finding how to on the internet. But now I see a lot of brown bumps on the underside of the leaves. What is it and how do I get rid of it? Hubby is mad ![[Frown]](im/frown.gif)
and wants to cut it down but I like my pussy willow!! Help!!!

By pruning, I meant cutting it back to remain a smaller bush rather than letting it get huge. The bumps on the leaves are more of a pinkish than brown, now that I looked more closely at it today... Do you know what it is??

Nada,
This is my first year with two pussy willows and the Japanese beetles did a number on me. Fact is they are still hitting them daily despite my best efforts. It sounds like a fungus of some type. I would wait for some advice here because if it exists someone will come to your aid. Try to bring a specimen to the local nursery for further analysis. Some web sites specialize in specific diseases that commonly effect certain plants.
Good Luck

Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have
done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

No, I don't have a photo at this time. Thanks for the suggestion to take a sample to a local nursery - think I'll try that.![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)
