HVX ???

[Rosenzobel]

Hello,

I´ve got a new Hosta this year- potted it and all the leaves came up nice......now- some of the older leave change colour sinand it looks like HVX to me?? Funny thing this leaves came up totally normal and green....I´ve got this Hosta from somebody I thougt I could trust.,..what do you think???

The first and last pics (same leaf?) look as though they might be, but the others are near the vein but not right along it. When did this start to show? Has the plant been under stress? I think I'd like to hear what Chris says.

Hello,

it started 3-4 weeks ago.first just a bit color change-now its geting more an more and looks more and more like hvx to me?

I think it might be HVX also, but agree with Ann on waiting for Chris's judgment.

It may just be that it is getting ready to go down for the year....I wouldn't pitch it yet....I agree...wait to see what Chris says...

I tokk 3 leaves and send them to the Nursery-they want them to test them.....So maybe I´ll know more next time....

Hello,

Sorry I missed this posting earlier. Yes, these pictures look like virus. You can even see some of the light veins developing on the newer leaves too. Will be interested to hear what the nursery finds after they test it.

Hello,
I agree w/ a virus. I first thought, early stages of tobaco rattle virus. On the other hand, I have seen hvx come in many forms and looks. Remember in conclusion, the Agli test trips only test for one particular virus. They have at least three individual tests for different viruses; the most common ones associated w/ hosta and other plants.

Good Luck,
Rick

[Rosenzobel]
