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

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.

Mine always does this. Never seems to do it any harm so don't worry.

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.
