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.
Part the exterior of your boxwood with your hands and see how far into the plant it has green growth in late winter or early spring. Boxwood growth is so dense that the interior of the plant commonly dies, leaving the plant with a shell of 6 to 12 inches of active growth around the outside.
