Solved Chlorosis, interveinal chlorosis, mildew

Thankyou, @Goldenlily26, that is helpful to know.

I have never seen chlorosis that bad before, with my own eyes. Hopefully I will have some (better) news to post on here soon.

 

Hope you get a satisfactory outcome @ClematisDbee . I know what you mean about reviews - of any kind, so it can be hard to know for sure about any supplier.

I'm sure that one would recover well enough, but it isn't a good specimen for any nursery/outlet to send out so the cost is expensive, regardless of the actual amount. You should be able to plant out a healthy, well sized specimen, at this time of year and be sure it'll thrive.

 

I am pleased to say that I received a full refund for the 'not up to expected standard' plant. Apparently the mildew was caused by overhead automated watering. I think they said it wasn't mildew...

 

??? It's a shrubby honeysuckle, isn't it?

 

Yes, the shrubby form. The company didn't refer to the chlorosis, but suggested the mildew was from hard water. They did at least refund me. Thanks to everyone for their help. It is in the 'sick bay' at present. I will be planting it out soon, crossing my fingers that it might rally.
