Introduction

Shrubs are an important part of landscapes and woodlands. However, shrubs may experience a wide range of issues including disease, insects, and abiotic disorders. This publication includes the most frequently observed problems of common shrubs in Kentucky listed in alphabetical order (not necessarily in order of importance). Contact a local county Extension agent for assistance with diagnosing and managing these and other problems.

The complete publication, Common Problems of Common Shrubs - An Index, cannot be printed here, but is available by request.
