Yup, looks like EB to me. As far as plant placement, mine usually starts at the bottom or middle of the plant and only affects one stem at a time. But "may" seem that way, since blight is more prevalent in the spring here and plants are smaller. I also get septoria on just about everything, which has wiped out several red tips (they quit selling red tips here d/t the wet spring and foliar disease). I also get fire blight on fruit trees, I have a blueberry with stem blight, etc., etc...
In the south, when it rains - it pours - so it seems. Several days were clocked at 6+" in one day. Weather pattern is looking mo' fav, but now the abusive heat is on the horizon - soaking wet retrieving the morning paper. Got fam down in Geo, and it gets sultry down there on the red clay for sure. At least I don't have kudzoo wreaking havaoc here - yet. i'm sure some bozo will bring some back......
