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.

Buxus 'Green Velvet' Problem

6 years ago

I have three Buxus 'Green Velvet' bushes planted next to each other. Last week I noticed some discoloration in the foliage. This happened rather fast. I'm attaching photos. My sense is that it's caused by some sort of insect pest. I have two buxus sempervirens (American boxwood) plants next to these three and they look fine. Would appreciate your help identifying the cause and any remedy that you would suggest. The first four photos are from one plant. The last photo belongs to another Green Velvet.
