Most of it looks like it has been attacked already. I would advise anyone not to buy it."

"I work in Chester and every single box shrub or hedge in my 30 plus customers gardens has either died or is on the way out. It's box moths that's causing the problem here, they're everywhere. "
"I think that's right, I seem to get an attack about now and if I take my eye off it September seeems to be another problem month, that ones worse as they have no chance of growing back/clients noticing!"
"No blight but we've seen loads of caterpillar damage on clients plants. Been treating for the last couple of weeks in various gardens. We're in Cheshire."
"The ground looks baked at the edges but I suspect there is perhaps more red in the lawn not showing in the image which will be red thread .
Looks like the turf has knitted together well but the baked edges indicate lack of water and the turf is…"

It just looks to have dried out to me. Also, the surrounding bare ground looks very poor, stony etc. It’s also such a small area of turf that this in itself exacerbates the problem.

"Not seen much blight recently, but box is a busted flush round here thanks to box moth. Spraying kills some caterpillars, but there are always more! I think it has several breeding cycles per year."
"Theres an app called '@Seek' by inaturalist that's very good for identifying weeds/ wildflowers."
"I've found Tryclpyr ( available as Garlon, Blaster.....) the most effective solution for ground elder. Killed large establish areas of it always with one application. "
"Looks like weed killer or scorched by fertiliser that hasn't been watered in"
"have they hosed it off using a hose pipe that has been laying out in the sun? At this time of year a hosepipe containing sitting water before the fresh stuff comes through can get pretty hot"
"Indeed, I was replying to Oliver who said it was the worst year he'd known for caterpillar."
"Box blit minimal, some frost damage.
Starting to see box Wood caterpillar on the west Berkshire/Hampshire boarder. Got all my customers putting out pheromone traps and spraying with nematodes.
Time to give up on box now me thinks."
