My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Large Privacy bushes dying

12 years ago

This appears to be a spider mite infestation to my novice opinion. Would someone offer their opinion(s)..This is a photo of one of 6 privacy bushes we have...I've rescued them previous to this infestation ... but this time it is rabid with something. I've applied Neem oil and water twice. Should we continue to nurse them or cut off the branches that are the worst? I've also included a photo of a close-up of one leaf with the white flecks on the back of it. Thank you for your advice.
