Click above for a good informative piece on the Boxwood Blight.  It is confirmed at 2 residences in the Pipers Court area.  The damage is devastating and occurred rapidly, within 3 weeks. 

Again, the best way to prevent this is making sure the professional pruning your boxwoods is cleaning tools!

This means asking the individual doing the work if the tools were cleaned prior to starting.  Anything one can do to create a healthier shrub, will benefit it.  This includes adequate fertility, fungicides, sun exposure and air movement.
