Default griselina littoralis - younger leaves turned partially black...

I've got two Griselinia littoralis shrubs in containers. Some of the
smaller, younger leaves on both plants have turned partially black,
and the
black parts are limp. Would that be due to all the rain or recent weeks -
or something else? Are the shrubs in danger of dying, and should I cut
off
all the affected leaves?

TIA

You don't say where you are but the young growth of these is not frost
hardy, so my money would be on cold damage






Nah, can't be, Charlie. I've had lots of cold damage in my garden and
your money isn't on any of it! ;~)
