Powdery mildew

We have powdery mildew (a perennial Florida problem) on the shrubs in front ot the B building. It has killed two shrubs already and infected several others. It spreads incredibly fast, taking only 72 hours to complete one life cycle.

I informed the board yesterday, but received no acknowlegement. They can ignore me. The fungus doesn't care.

A couple of bushes just outside the B building south stairwell have been killed by powdery mildew. The bushes need to be removed and the others sprayed with a suitable fungicide. The fungus will spread if left untreated.

Update: they yanked out the dead bushes yesterday afternoon (September 22). They didn't remove the dead leaves that carry and spread the spores.
