... on the leaves of a relatively new Photinia Fraseri Pink Marble. Is
this likely to be just frost damage? The damage is not evident on
other basic Red Robin Photinias in other parts of the garden but I
wondered if this variegated version was more susceptible to frost.

No idea why I am asking this but could it be water drips?


Unlikely as it has been in a sheltered, partially covered area
throughout the winter (ready for planting out this spring if and when
it arrives).

I was concerned that, in the event that it is not something like frost
damage it could be diseased.



Something like Black Spot on roses perhaps?


That is what I was concerned about - I think that I will give it a
squirt with some fungicide to be on the safe side.
