Short cuts for Maple Answers
The following problems are listed for this plant and
considered
when developing the diagnostic key. If the caller provides
accurate
answers to the questions, the ones that are linked should key
out to that specific problem. The unlinked problems are expected
to key to the point where the caller is asked to submit a sample.
These samples will often require diagnostic procedures such as
soil testing, pathogen culture, Elisa or other test beyond the
resources of the average Master Gardener Volunteer or County
Extension
Agent.
