Leaves that curl, wilt, discolor, and die may mean that a plant is suffering from verticillium wilt. This is a fungal disease that lives in the soil and it invades susceptible plants through their roots and spreads through the plant’s vascular system. Its symptoms mimic those of other plant diseases and environmental problems, making it harder to diagnose and as the disease travels up a tree or shrub’s vascular system, it leaves dark discolorations. Verticillium wilt is a devastating and incurable disease, but with special care and attention, you can preserve the plant and enjoy it for several more years.
