    Hopefully someone might have an idea what this is and what to do about it. My knowledge of horticulture could easily fit on a pinhead, so I don't even know what the infected shrub is, never mind what's wrong with it.:o

    Is this on roadside? Looks like paved area at bottom of photo.

    Not on roadside. It's part of the driveway of my house.

    My observation from photo is that the plant is affected nearest the drive and at car level. High up and away from the drive the plant seems to be clean.

    Thanks -- Yes it does seem to be more infected at lower levels, although it is spreading quite rapidly through the plant and the fungus spots, if that's what they are, are steadily blending together to the extent that many leaves are becoming white and furry. Strangely they don't seem to be dropping off or anything.

    My concern is that I have several of these bushes and I wouldn't want them all to get killed off. I wonder if there's some sort of fungicide that would solve the problem?
