WHY ARE MY HEDGES LEAVES TURNING SPOTTED YELLOW AND SHOWING ABURNT VISION
By Hesperides
United States 
I have willow tress, cork screw hazels, rose hedging, privet, azealias all of which have invested by some sort of either air bourne and ground invested disease. Resulting in the leaves turning from green to a stotted yellow and continuing to form a 'burnt leaf' sometimes in the death of the tree/plant. Urgent advice is needed

If you lived in Britain I'd be telling you to look for honey fungus or, if you live near fields, weedkiller spraying - the spray may have drifted onto your plants. With regard to honey fungus, this shows as honey coloured toadstools in the fall, and will kill many trees and shrubs - it usually arises at the site of an old tree stump or stump of a woody plant, and if you dig in the soil around affected plants, there will be black, bootlace like tendrils or roots from the fungus. Don't know if that gives you some ideas or not
