That's what happened to me. In my front garden, I lost two buddleia,
a flowering cherry, a magnolia and other things the same way. Some
years on, a buddleia is doing find just there. Now, THAT was fungal
(or at least not bacterial) because I could see the mycelium. But I
have lost a chilli this year that way (it took a week) and there was
nothing visible.
