How can I control the blight spreading along my box hedge?

Our Advice:

There are two types of fungi which cause this disease so start by removing and burning badly infected plants and clearing away any plant debris. Spray the remaining plants with Fungus Fighter Plus from Bayer. You could consider replanting with Ilex crenata (the box-leaved or Japanese holly) as an alternative.
