Illness and plants
Can I use the word "illness" when it comes to plants? I've never heard of a plant having an "illness" only a "disease" but another editor doubts this. I can't find a credible source to prove which one is correct or not. I also can't find any sentences of "plants" and "illness" on the web which leads me to believe my gut is correct. But a credible source would be helpful if anyone can recommend one, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
