Hi folks,

First time post on Garden Banter. To business.

I've attached three photos taken yesterday. They show a disease which is attacking evergreen shrubs, such as myrtle and azalea, owned by people for whom I work as a gardener. The leaves go brown, with darker spots, as shown, then fall off. Maybe the shrubs will grow new leaves next year, but intuitively I am not hopeful.

If you could help ID the pathogen and suggest a preventative/curative measure, I'd be pretty blimmin grateful.

Yours,

Steve
