As if there was not enough to worry about...the one plant we all thought was virtually impossible to kill has a new disease that is attacking them. The LSU Ag Center is actually the lead agency in discovering the fungus and running tests. It's got the most original name you have ever heard of, Boxwood Dieback disease. And as you would guess it, it causes the plant to die back. The first telltale sign is you will notice random die back in the plant. Some limbs look well and alive while others are dead. The cause of this is a fungus. The cure at this point is going to be a fungicide, however it is so new we are still running trials on how much and what kind works the best. Let us know if you have any questions!
