Both these plants grew beautiful flowers but now seem to have some disease both on leaves and stem.
Their location was changed to another part of the house, when they were brought to original location ,which has more sunlight and where they bloomed many a time, this happened.
Is there a way to treat them

I have a number of hedges of Viburnum tinus. They have all been affected by a ghastly leaf spotting disease. Small holes appear on new leaf growth and then the whole hedge gradually becomes affected and turns brown. Have hunted the garden forums for an answer - but can't find anything specific. Would dearly like to treat this disease as I don't want to replace the Viburnum hedges. Have attached two pictures to show the damage.
Thanks to anyone who can help & advise !

Re: Leaf Spot on Photinias

Hi!
Leaf spot on Photinias is caused by the fungus called Entomosporium. The fungus overwinters on infected leaves/branches from the previous year. Wet weather in spring disperses spores, which then infect new growth. Leaves can be infected during wet weather, and again in autumn during wet weather. There are a number of things to do to combat leaf spot. Make sure your Photinia is in sun with good air circulation. Remove and destroy infected leaves, including fallen leaves. If twigs/branches are infected, prune them off. If you irrigate, avoid overhead watering. Finally, apply a copper-based fungicide 3-4 times in spring when buds are breaking. Continue regular treatment throughout spring until drier weather resumes.
Hope this is helpful.

Our two standard photinias and our "little red robin" are affected by leaf spot, exactly as illustrated in the example shown on the site. I would appreciate advice on how to deal with this.

Hi there I think with reference to the red Robin don't worry too much about the black spot as in the south east it's very common and they are susceptible to this. The bay try a general herbicide and parasite spray and feed well in spring with a general feed.
Hope this helps. Matt
