Boxwood Blight


This afternoon I received a phone call from a resident of Highlands who got into town last night.  When they pulled into their driveway, the headlights shined on these Boxwood's and she immediately knew something wasn't right.  She is devastated to lose these...they are 65 years old and a wedding gift to her parents from a family member who owned a nursery at the time.  Knowing my profession and interests, she called me.  This is the worst case of Boxwood Blight that I've seen to date!  If this doesn't encourage you to want to treat your boxwood, I don't know what will.  This is terrible and they will need to be removed and something else replanted.
