I hope no one minds if we centralize all the pictures from everyone on Stangelbrand in one thread WITH NO COMMENTS IN BETWEEN. I thought this would be a great quick reference if any of us finds a spot on our brugs and want to go down a line of pictures quickly to compare our spot with known Stangelbrand lesions.
Please post the variety of brugmansia by the picture. That way we can see if any trends develop.
Please post the date you found the lesion.
Undiagnosed lesions I guess should be posted just as UNKNOWN, name of brug and date. Then if and when confirmed, it can be edited to Known SB.
If you think of any thing to improve this, please DO NOT post here, but email me and I will edit my post so we do not have tons of posts that are not pictures.
Thanks
All Stangelbrand pictures post here please

We can use this also for a record of which brugs have been found to be infected so if your plant of that kind has not been in your garden for a long time, you can keep a close eye on it.
If you have no pictures of it but you are pretty sure it is SB, just post the info, type of brug, which state and any interesting info about it.
We can follow which states it in by looking under posters names. Or write it please in your post.
Sorry! Just found this. I need Monica to give her opinion.
Day Break rec. cuttings in November, seemed to be growing well--found only after removing all leaves late Feb.
Edited to say this is not SB.

All 4 cuttings of Day Break were similar.

Bigger photo.
I still need these confirmed, please, Monica.
Vi, Im not Monika, and I hope you dont mind me using your pic as an example, but the part I circled, is what makes me think it IS strangelbrand. See how its dark around the light? I think Monika said this is a sign of SB. I saw that (the dark ring) on a couple pics you posted.
Vi, I see only one pic, the rest show a red marked x. Judging by this single picture, I would say yes, it is SB
The following pictures show you the difference in one and the same plant, without and with SB. This picture was made in Oct. 1992. It is Charles Grimaldi
Charles Grimaldi, the same Tree, three years later. The picture was made in July 1995. It was the year of the first outbreak of SB in my collection. Please take notice of the weak growth of the Tree top. The flowers were already lacking color
Two years later. in 1997, the Tree died off and I realized, that he could not be saved. I cut the trunk into pieces and this is, what I found. Only a small spot was seen on the bottom the trunk. In the middle of the trunk, the size of it increased.
You may see on the inner rings, how old the Tree was. I had send the this and rootball parts to a lab.
Gosh... that was quite a tree. I'm crying just looking at the pictures. It took 2 years for it to die? I thought plants would die much quicker. Would smaller plants have the brown in the trunks like that? None of my plants compare to the diameter of that monster.
Okay, I'm going to load some pictures of a Kyle's Giant White cutting that I received a few months ago in a cuttings-for-postage deal over at B.G.I. Please understand that I am not pointing any fingers at anyone, and I'll notify the person that I got these from in an email, and she can notify the other recipients. First, please, I need someone to confirm that this is what I think it is:
Here's a close-up:
Here's another:

Clare, it could be, that a rot has caused the lesion because it is right underneath the cut. I would keep a close eye on it and also on the sprouts.
Thank you, Monika.
can some one say for sure of carena"s leaf picture is SB I have leaves looking like this on some of my cuttings? Thank you for your help in advance I appreciate it. I haven't cut on anything with my pruners so maybe all minein my yard will be okay. should i try to get up with my county extention man and see if i can get my leaf tested, I can't remember which one it was out there that looked like this.I do remember it is one i got in a trade, so all the ones i sent out should be okay, I kept them on the other side of the GH from my received cuttings.
Monika, on the photo with the brugs that have the brown spots on trunk that you have circled in red, when they cut my coral glow cutting for testing there were no brown spots on the stem that was left. This cutting really wants to grow, it was cut back on wed. last week and now has 2 shoots coming up from the roots. I thought it would die when it was cut back.
cbrandenburg, spots and lesions on Brugmansia branches or stem could have different reasons which could be injuries, cork or callous, which has overgrown small injuries, a too high humidity. Typical for SB is, that the plant looses its older leaves and small black spots begin to show on the branches. Larger lesions have always a black ring. The picture of Golden Lady is a good example for my explanation.
The above pictures with the red circles show the trunk of a more than 10 year old tree. He died 3 years after the infection began. Since then, I have never kept a SB infected plant for such a long time.
Hello, I found this on one of my seedlings (unnamed) yesterday August 7, 2004. The seedling is 4 months old & 2 weeks ago all the older leaves started falling off and the plant looked like it wasn't keeping up growth with other seedlings. I cut through the stem & where the lesions are it looks sunken in & brown like it's killing from the outside into the center. I only have seedlings, no plants from cuttings,etc. & this one directly planted in ground. I wasn't sure if this comes from soilborn or airborn source? Thanks, Kathy
Kwells, it looks more like a injury which has developed into a rot. I would cut the plant back to the healthy part in order to save it.
Kwell, make sure you full boil your clippers for 5 minutes esp after you cut!!
