# Alright guys, I believe we have some fungal rust 😞 I have copper…

_Publié par E le 2024-05-11_

Alright guys, I believe we have some fungal rust 😞 I have copper fungicide I could use but hoping I don’t have to fully uproot her to inspect roots lol. Only a few spots on diff leaves but want to catch it before it can spread. Suggestions?

Oh woah, I haven’t seen that one before. Reminds me of apple scab, but I’m pretty sure that only affects trees. Like you said though, probably a fungus. I would treat according to the label of your fungicide. Probably good to treat them all just in case. But good catching it early with only a few spots!

Thanks for the reassurance! There are a total of 3 spots that I can see, and the brown on the underside of the leaf looks a lot like rust and wipes off easily. I wonder if I should cut off the spots?

I probably wouldn’t, just because the holes are in so deep unless you used like a hole punch but once treated it shouldn’t come back, youll just have a little scar on the leaf

Thanks!! You’re right, they are just scars now :)
