look close.. are the white spots actually bugs???

compare at link

cold is going to be the default answer for the browning... perhaps complicated by transplant stress ...

but lets start with the white stuff

take a leaf to a good nursery.. if we cant ID it ....

It looks a lot like a holly leaf spot, Cylindrocladium sp. This is a common Ilex ailment in the southeast or where temperatures can get warm, there is high humidity or excessive water on the foliage. If so, this is a fungal pathogen so can be controlled with fungicides but can also be addressed by pruning back the plant. Be sure to collect and discard any fallen leaves.

It is also possible that this is a physiological leaf spot, common on a whole host of broadleaved evergreen shrubs and is environmentally related. Heavy hail could certainly produce such an appearance.

Definitely not bugs on leaves. I will have a leaf analyzed and see if it is a fungus problem. Thanks.
