Upload Pictures or Files

Photos are very helpful but not required.

For plant problems, submit one photo that includes the entire plant and surrounding landscape and multiple closeups of the problem areas. Photos should include both affected and healthy tissues so a comparison with the “normal” plant is possible.
For plant and weed ID, include leaves, buds, stems, flowers, roots, and fruits/seeds or as many of these features as possible. A single leaf is not enough!
For insects, include closeups and pictures showing where the pest was found.

Please allow time for the files to upload before submitting the form. You will see a trash can or a red X when the file is uploaded. This icon allows you to delete the file if needed.
