Reader Anna send us some helpful information on Orange tree Disease and how to treat it.

Thanks so much, Anna :-)

********************************************************

I’ve read with great concern about the disease afflicting orange trees in the southern US. I seem to have a gift for dowsing homeopathic remedies that work for not only human beings, but others as well, including plants. One spring all the tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings in my basement suddenly developed root rot, with their lower leaves turning yellow and dropping off, just as they were going into flower and ready to begin hardening off outside. I dowsed and watered them 4 granules/pellets of Magnesia Borocitrica 4DH (potency) dissolved in 2 cups/500 ml of water. You would need to make enough to give them a good watering, even if that seems counter intuitive with root rot. I believe that the packaged soil I used was contaminated in some way, as that had never happened before, or since. Boiron is one of the better known sources with tubes of about 80 granules/pellets (some have 130 granules), but you can shop around, and not all sources will be as helpful as others. If anyone is really having a problem getting them and would like to try it, I’d be willing to order some and send them from Canada.

For the orange trees it is Ble Germe 4DH, 4 granules per quart/litre of water - after a rainfall, and enough to drench the entire tree and its roots - much more than 1 litre I would guess. :)It would be necessary to do this 3X, always after a rainfall, to eliminate the disease.

Sent with a prayer for healing for all,

Anna
