Boxwood Problems- Can you Identify? #932471

Asked May 21, 2026, 9:19 AM EDT

We have a dozen boxwoods in front of our home that have been there for 8-10 years with no issues. This spring they have all begun to develop brown leaves and leaves in various stages of spotting. Can you tell me what is the problem and if it can be treated?
