which one, or both has hvx? I put leaves from both in a test kit because I didn't want to waste my kit. I've had these for 7 years, never moved or anything. The test came out positive. They are about 4 feet from each other. Do you think they are both infected? I hate to waste another test kit and will probably dispose of the entire garden come fall. Thanks

I would say the top one is infected for sure. The other one is 'Patriot', which is easily and inexpensively replaced, so I would eliminate both.

thanks. The top one was exposed to frost and dogs, so wasn't quite sure. I assumed that patriot was infected, because the tips of the leaves have never fully spread out. They are almost always pinched in a bit. I'll probably do away with the entire bed.
