How to remove Lobelia (Mac)

What Is Lobelia?

Lobelia is a genus of flowering plants that is commonly found in moist habitats such as wetlands, meadows, and forests. There are over 400 species of Lobelia, with some varieties being used in traditional medicine for their medicinal properties. However, Lobelia can also be a problematic plant as it has the ability to infect apple trees, also known as Mac trees.

Lobelia infects Mac trees through the release of spores, which are tiny reproductive structures that are carried by the wind or water. Once the spores come into contact with the leaves or branches of a Mac tree, they can germinate and penetrate the plant tissue, leading to infection. The infection can cause symptoms such as yellowing or wilting of the leaves, stunted growth, and reduced fruit production. In severe cases, Lobelia infection can even kill the Mac tree. It is important for apple growers to be aware of Lobelia and take preventive measures to protect their orchards from this harmful plant.
