[Herbalist] basil tree

[foxryde]

Greetings, Gentle Cousins,

Bad news, I am afraid.

There is a disease that is not well known that is spreading through basil.
It comes in on the seed and lies dormant for a while.  It does kill the
plant. It also infests soil.  I can't remember the name of the
disease/fungus right now.

You can't know if your plant is infected.

Takecare,
Leonora
