I have a problem with a rusty colour appearing on english box hedge . Several plants in a row will have it and then the very next one can be fine. They seem to be unhealth , with little or no growth. Would appreciate any advice you may have.

Thanks Brad

G'Day Brad,

Thanks for the question. You don't mention where you are situated so it is a bit hard to diagnose the problem.

A characteristic feature of buxus is the way the leaves turn a pale yellow/brown in frosty Winters. This sounds like it could be the problem. The effected plants should come back when the weather starts to warm up. They will benefit from an application of a slow release fertilizer now.

Good Luck,
Regards

have same problem, i think it is due to a lack of nutrient, have soil tested and make sure water is adequate
