What's wrong with my oak saplings?

Ha! Worth a try then!

 

Thank you.

I use a basic garden centre mildew spray on mine. Spray above and below the leaves too. They will recover.

I humbly suggest you go out and find a healthy mature oak of the same species, and dig up some soil from within its drip line, and transplant your saplings into it. The mycorrhizal fungi required for successful transplanting will be of great benefit IME.

Good thinking. I humbly accept your suggestions, thanks!

Spoke to my friend who spoke to his dad who now thinks I'm crackers! He can't remember anything about wee, must've been some deviant daydream I had😳.

He did however suggest you use sulphur powder: put it in a sock on a stick and shake over affected plants, it is used in organic horticulture and approved by soil association, he now lives in Spain and treats his grapes in this way and said it works well.

Thanks chaps. Will let the wife stand down(!), and look into sulphur and sprays!

Think they just banned part of it, its now just Nimrod as the T chemical is banned.

 

Well it was a few years ago when I brought some!
