I have a Mahonia x Media 'Lionel Fortescue'...
Symptoms a many leaves with black patches which seem to be growing.
Leaves eventually drop off.

Can anyone diagnose and suggest a cure for this?

Some kind of leafspot fungus, perhaps. Sanitation is very
important for ailments of this general category. Go out and pick
up all the fallen leaves and burn them.


I'm not sure about burning, is that not likely to mobilise the infective
agent?
