Missing leaves - another form of "skeletonized"
Bean
San Francisco
Section by section, leaves on my four-year old scarlet runner bean plant completely disappeared. Pod production had begun. No debris or worm droppings on the ground. I clipped off the affected branches but that did not prevent the spread.
(Side question - how many years can scarlet runner bean plants last?)
In Nov. I planted fava beans to winter over in a nearby bed and the same thing happened when they were a couple of feet tall. All the healthy leaves were gone within a week. Some new leaves are growing back now as the days are getting longer.
Entire leaves gone!
