Thank you very much for your prompt reply; yes I did go to your links and found Kocide.  You mentioned using it almost exclusively; do you wear protective clothing, masks, gloves, etc., and then change when finished or isn't it quite that toxic?  Thanks again.  Karen :-)

You may already be aware of the cultural practices to manage your twig 
blight, but make sure you prune and destroy infected twigs and branches. It 
is also possible for both Kabatina and Phomopsis twig blight to occur on the 
same plant. If only Phomopsis is present, apply the azoxystrobin, 
thiophanate methyl, or copper when new growth is present.  I would recommend 
a good copper spray before new buds break in spring also, but be sure to 
follow the recommended frequency in the spray guide for whichever chemical 
you use.  We use Kocide almost exclusively for our copper spray but you can 
use any of the recommended sprays. 
http://www.ppath.cas.psu.edu/EXTENSION/PLANT_DISEASE/aborvit.html will give 
you the trade name for other choices, including the ones you have mentioned 
and will also give you recommendations on the possibility of Kabatina.  Try 
http://store.yahoo.com/btgrowersupply/kocidetno.html Growers Supply for the 
Kocide.  They usually have the smaller quantity in stock. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know where a homeowner can purchase any of these products?
Clearys 3336,  Domain FL, or Topsin-M---thiophanate-methyl
Heritage--azoxystrobin
Kocide, Basicop, Microspherse, or  Nu-Cop---copper hydroxide

Our aroborvitae have been diagnosed with phomoposis twig blight and the 
above fungicides were recommended.
