Outdoor rosemary seem troubled

9 years ago

I have grown rosemary outside (NJ/Zone 7) for several years without any issues (except from the occasional dieback from BAD winters).

Well, this year (starting from late summer), the leaves have become spotted with paler, yellowish speckled areas. I see no evidence of bugs. Summer and much of fall was warmer and drier than normal (but I don't water them)..., though leaves might have been affected by watering as I did water less extreme drought tolerant shrubs (Crape Myrles).

Should I leave the plants till the spring, replace them, prune back. Just curious that the rosemary was so off this season, having done fine after lots of SUPER WET/HUMID growing seasons. (Lavender plants btw are fine.) Also, can I still use the leaves in cooking despite the appearance?

Thanks in advance.
