Nope, no party recently. They’d be greening up by now if that was the case
Thanks. I've been to that website along with several others. The pictures there and elsewhere certainly look like what I'm dealing with. We've lived in this house for going on three years, and I suspect the hedges are original to the house which is about 20 years old. The frustrating thing is that these are the only boxwoods on my property, so I'm not sure where the pathogen originated. I suppose a neighbor's yard but no other obviously infected boxwoods nearby that I've seen.
If it’s blight, it’s not curable and only worth treating if the symptoms are mild or nonexistent
Correct. I understand the word Blight I'm just proactive lazy, and I may have tried to treat it so I didn't have to replace the bushes.
After yesterday's storm I have a big landscape tree that I needs removed. So, I understand the frustration.
What pisses me off the most is that these boxwood hedges are the only evergreens in my yard that the roving herds of deer haven’t laid waste to. I’d gladly replace them but they’ll succumb to the blight sooner or laterCorrect. I understand the word Blight I'm just proactive lazy, and I may have tried to treat it so I didn't have to replace the bushes.
Until this, those hedges were Uber low maintenance, receiving no care from me other than spring time trimming. I'll look into the possible treatments available and decide whether it's worth attempting anything, but the odds are tipping toward complete removal at this point.
Junipers may be the only viable replacement.
Maybe yew?
Deer candy.
