please help identify hvx??

Post by harvest122 »

So this whole virus x thing is kinda new to me. I have been collecting hostas for a few years and have 100+ varieties now and after looking at some of my plants I am wondering if these pictures look like infected plants or something else. If there infected I want to rid them asap, so just looking for some more input from people who have experience with this virus. Hopefully I did this picture thing right... Thanx

Don't think so, looks like damage from the elements. No bleeding in the veins or inking that I can see. Are those Hostas in a lot of sun? Looks a little like sun damage.
