Cut off affected branches as soon as you spot signs of blight. If only one of your plants is affected, remove that plant from the garden. Fungus is a bit more difficult.
There seems to be a shortage of cures for phytophtora. This fungus infects many different plants - everything from rasberry bushes to cherry and cedar trees. I found a contact in Washington DC that might have some advice.
They published a study of the effect of phtophtora on cherry trees. The address is: U.S. NATIONAL ARBORETUM, 3501 NEW YORK AVE. , N.
E. WASHINGTON DC 20002 FAX: 202-245-4579 They might be able to help you out. I also found an article at http://ucs.orst.edu/~niederhf/HRNEWS41.html The article summarized a research project involving fungal problems with apple trees.
From it, I derived two possible solutions to your problem. You could plant a cover crop of wheat on the ground beneath your cedar trees. The roots of some varieties of w more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
