Anthracnose is the reason why inkberry leaves curl inward. The appearance of the fungal disease in question around heavy rainfall events and supplementary irrigation leaves black, tar-like leaf spots, curled, distorted leaves, die-back and girdled branches and twigs from cankers. There tends to be little in the way of management and prevention other than fertilizing inkberry (Ilex glabra) during non-rainy spring months, pruning affected plant parts, removing ground litter and treating with chlorothalonil or thiophanate-methyl fungicides in late spring.
