    Hi

    I am not green fingered by any stretch if the imagination. Watering weeding and a bit of cutting back is about my limit.

    I have not been out in the garden for a couple of weeks due to work. However things seem to be attacking a few of my plants and I need advice on how to tackle the problems. I dont have a clue of what type of plants they are so have included pictures.

    Pic 1 - All the leaves seem to have dried up and dropped off.
    Pic2 & 3 - I think this is a Yukka. The leaves seem to be turning brown and dying. Maybe some sort of mould?
    Pic 4&5 - Something seems to be eating holes in the leaves killing them off.

    Any help apreciated

    Thanks Baz

    Hi, this is my very first post, I have been reading the board looking for a case similar to our front 'hedge'. (Viburnum Tinus)

    the last picture is exactly the problem we have, though the vibernum isnt dying, just looking very chewed, I hope some one can come along and help us both. I too have very little garden knowledge, very little as in none !!

    Hi again baz1, not sure if you have been back and read your oringal post, I have been told our Viburnum has Vine Weevile and it has been suggested to me I buy provado vine weevil killer.

    Baz, the first pic shows what looks like a virtually dead Cytisus, get rid of. The second and third pics, show a Yucca in need of some TLC, remove the dead leaves. Pics 4 & 5 show a Viburnum with usual wear and tear marks, it has Viburnum black spot. Scorch marks, also slug damage.:gnthb: Gotp[ots, can you post a pic of your Viburnum damage ? Welcome to the site by the way.:old:
