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.
Things You Will Need. Tip. Trim boxwood hedges a few times during the growing season to prevent damage to the plant. Allowing a boxwood hedge to grow untrimmed for extended periods will cause higher leaves and branches to outgrow those below, then block out the sun, causing weakness and death.
