Hi Gita, My D.ackermannii also has some "pit,grey,marked areas", but don't seem to be causing problems….Yes, some of the 'leaves' do look quite ugly….But I don't have a solution for that 'problem'. Maybe someone with more experience will have some idea….I do know that this is the first year, in many, that I've not had as many blooms as in years past. Pitted, grey areas the problem? I just don't know… Maybe….

My D. ackermannii stays outside,under the shelter of a neighbors Yew (Taxus) shrub/tree. The weather has been so strange this past year, that it's hard to say what the 'trouble' could be.
