But probably not as bad as the Cylindrocladium buxicola or Pseudonectria buxi more commonly known as Box Blight that have absolutely devastated the Box here in the UK . . .
I have seen so many succumb to the blight over the past few years it makes a difference to know they’re getting done in by the caterpillars as well . . .
