Honey Fungus.

I have a very large Ribes that I fear has succumbed to the dreaded Honey Fungus.
The fungi was cut away about six weeks ago and an extreme dose of Jeyes Fluid was applied.
The plant at the moment is looking healthy except for some rotting at the base which I have cut away.
I have applied more Jeyes.
Apparently Ribes are supposed to have some immunity to this.
Other than that there is no know cure..........

 

I fear that the disease is spread through, even if you can't see it.
Will unfortunately probably come back again?

 

So what if anything could I replace it with as there will be a 12' high gap.
Big problem..........

 

I suppose something 19 foot tall would be too big then Roders?

I like your thinking Zigs.....
Not exactly what I had in mind. :giggle:

 

You get instant height though Roders
