Blight is a fungal disease that causes the leaves of boxwoods to become spotted and then turn brown. This fungal disease causes massive defoliation on infected specimens. There is no known cure for this problem; infected plants and roots must be removed and discarded, not composted.
Leaves turn brown from the edges and tips, wilt and die in severe infections. Leaf symptoms are often seen on only one or a few random branches in the canopy. Dark brown to black streaks often can be seen in the sapwood if the bark is peeled back, appearing as rings or arcs in a cross cut.
