As usual, we got an interesting variety of questions, but we all laughed when a client walked out with a diagnosis of Apple and Thorn Skeletonizer for her apple tree and another walked in with exactly the same signs (and the same bug) on his apple tree&#8217;s leaves. It sure would be easier if that happened more often!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nI was stumped by weird lesions on an apple branch that somebody left with Sally, but Randi nailed it as Burrknot, a genetic thing where clusters of potential roots burst out all over the branches and trunk of the tree. None of us had ever heard of it before.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Jere brought a whole bag of weeds from the rain garden she is working on, and Stephanie went to work and identified pretty much all of them. A man came in with more weeds to i.d. and the assistant to the weed guy was there at her desk and chimed in. The most interesting was Clematis vitalba, a vine which can climb 100 feet and shade out native plants, as well as creating a huge weight on whatever tree it is in. It turned out to be on the noxious weed list here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><b>I always learn something&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..M.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Photos of burrknot \u00a0submitted to plant clinic:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"tb-lightbox-shortcode\" style=\"max-width: 940px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jcmgf.org\/mg2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/burrknot21.jpg\" title=\"burrknot2(1)\" class=\"themeblvd-lightbox mfp-image tb-thumb-link image thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jcmgf.org\/mg2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/burrknot21-940x705.jpg\" alt=\"burrknot2(1)\" width=\"940\" \/><span class=\"thumb-link-icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus-square\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"tb-lightbox-shortcode\" style=\"max-width: 940px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jcmgf.org\/mg2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/burrknot1.jpg\" title=\"burrknot(1)\" class=\"themeblvd-lightbox mfp-image tb-thumb-link image thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jcmgf.org\/mg2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/burrknot1-940x1254.jpg\" alt=\"burrknot(1)\" width=\"940\" \/><span class=\"thumb-link-icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus-square\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong>more about burrknot on apple tree:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Burrknot<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>more about about Clematis bitalba:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>http:\/\/www.kingcounty.gov\/environment\/animalsAndPlants\/noxious-weeds\/weed-identification\/old-mans-beard.aspx<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>more about apple and thorn skeletonizer:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>http:\/\/cru.cahe.wsu.edu\/CEPublications\/eb1384e\/eb1384e.html<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>featured image: \u00a0Clematis bitalba submitted by Mary Ann We had another\u00a0clinic day of clients trickling in, pretty much one at a time, so we never felt overwhelmed.
