I have a Box hedge suffering badly from what I think in Box Blight and no a : Grows on You

Norfolk, United Kingdom

I have a Box hedge suffering badly from what I think in Box Blight and no amount of fungicide has halted its devastation. I was told it may be Box Caterpillar but I have ruled that out having found no caterpillars or eaten leaves. Does anyone have the perfect treatment for Box Blught that I can try before I am forced to dig the whole hedge out.

I feel you might have to remove it all Mark.Even Monty Don was forced ultimately to do this.

I would suggest that you might waste you time trying to treat it. If you want to continue planting a hedge, I would go for Yew. It lends itself to regular clipping and causes few problems. I would also consider replanting with Rootgrow protection just to be on the safe side.
