Good morning everyone, hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather we are having.
My question please see pic. My Escallonia seems to have developed black spot. I think this may be due to the very dry conditions we are experiencing. Please tell me I'm not going to lose them, or what can I do to help save them from getting any worse.
Cheers Treetop

Hi, Escallonia are usually trouble free, I think itmayjustbe shedding a few leaves, even evergreens shed their leaves, just not all at the same time, as with deciduous trees and shrubs, Derek.

Thank you Derek, Do you think it best just to leave alone and see what the outcome is?

Hi, yes I think it will be best left alone, as I said, they're usually trouble free, just see what happens, if most of the leaves fall, you could give it a feed next spring, but I think it will be ok, Derek.
