Dwarf India Hawthorn (Raphiolepis
indica)
 Entomosporium
fungal leaf spot
Starts with pale yellow spots that turn
black; leaves turn red and fall off.
A common problem with too much overhead
irrigation, prolonged rains and high
humidity.
Worsened in soils that stay too wet (e.g.,
in a fine-textured fill soil with poor
drainage; a soil with a seasonal high water
table; a low area in a landscape).
Not much of a problem in well-drained and
well-aerated soil with infrequent
irrigation. |

 Florida
Wax Scale
This is a type of "soft scale"
that produces honeydew upon which grows the
black sooty mold. Sprays of horticultural
oil or insecticidal soap control this insect
pest and the sooty mold will eventually
slough off. |
