  • Not personally but my mate who is a gardener based in Cheshire was only saying it to me yesterday. Absolutely terrible he said.

    • We are in Staffordshire next to Cheshire so perhaps this is a regional problem?

  • it has been about for quite a few years now quite a few house holds have not treated for it and gardeners not disafecting there cutters then on to the nex job 

    i think it came in from europe on plants and has just spread accross the country and nothing to do with climate change if it exsists

        No signs here in West Yorkshire on box I look after but always worth keeping a check , Have known it devestate box in some areas but not affect shrubs in close proximity nearby .

    No blight at any of ours in the south east, worst I've ever known it for the box caterpillar though! 

    • 11250212897?profile=RESIZE_930xSaw this one today, wasn't like that last week!

      • That looks like box moth caterpillar not blight?

        • Indeed, I was replying to Oliver who said it was the worst year he'd known for caterpillar.
