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.
Shake the major branches of your boxwood one by one to dislodge the infected leaves and then rake them from under your boxwood. Dispose of them so the spores don't cause new infections. Another fungus, Volutella, may cause the branches to develop the color progression from orange to tan.
