HVX on Gold Standard or usual late season changes?

Post by supercat »

I've had this Gold Standard for 4 years, purchased from before I was aware of HVX, from a nursury that in subsequent years carried infected plants. I know what a badly infected GS looks like, but this one never seems to look like that. I know they go through some color changes as the summer goes on - so what do you think, normal changes? or HVX? The leaf at the top left looks awful - but it is from the first flush of leaves and was damaged by cold or critters early in the season.

the more I look at it, the more I think it looks fine. I'd like to see what a few others think......

The leaf in the background, top left was cold damaged. That I do know. But I'll try to get a closer shot of it when I have a spare moment.

Hi,

I don't see any HVX either, just normal color changes.
