Ollie finally has a confirmed diagnosis! Confirmed diagnosis for Phomopsis tip blight; Needle blight (Phomopsis juniperovora). Hopefully now we can treat and get her healthy again. Hoping there's still time. Anyone have experience regarding this fungus?

#GiantSequoia RIP Ollie. Ollie was a baby Giant Sequoia tree that no one wanted. It had two separate severe fungal infections, root rot, and copper poisoning. I took her and a volunteer team kept her alive for 318 days, but alas it was too much for her.

#GiantSequoia Desperately trying to nurse Ollie back to health. Luckily, the police department is watching her for me, because she fell sick during a winter storm, and dessication, along with copper posioning might have been an uphill battle.

#giantsequoia Ollie is showing signs of Improvement, despite having a lot of white branches from an unknown origin. She turned mostly brown and white and then black. Our theory is a lack of photosynthesis and depletion of chlorophyll from a copper toxicity resulting in an iron chlorosis. We think the black parts are iron deposits "clotting". She underwent exploratory surgery and no signs of infection were indicated. Presently, treating with iron and manganese chelation and playing the waiting game. She has been moved to a lab with a controlled environment.

Ollie's branches have been sent to the U of I Plant Clinic for diagnosis and hopefully some insight as to her ailment. On 12-22-2021 one branch turned white. Others soon turned brown spreading from tip to main stem, becoming dry and dying. #giantsequoia

#ollie update: #giantSequoia Ollie seems to be stabilizing and is starting to show signs of progress after being sick since mid-December. Hopefully she can be placed back outside in a few weeks. Still waiting on the lab analysis report
