What on earth could have caused this? This is part of a formal hedge I am growing, and everything else looks fine. Actually, even the remaining leaves look pretty good.
There are no deer around here--it's a semi urban suburb. It seemed to happen very abruptly. |

| It's not the work of deer or other animals -- the dead leaves are visible on the ground under the plant, brown, mainly to the right of the photo. Probably a disease problem of some sort, or maybe some kind of fertilizer burn or herbicide burn? |

| You're right that the leaves are all around the plant. Definitely no herbicide around there used by us--last time I used Roundup was a year ago in the back yard (this is the front/side yard). Last fertilization was in June, and everything looked happy afterwards. There is a vole problem in the backyard, but not an enormous one, and unlike the vole-damaged plants, I really don't see any sign of ground disturbance. I am not sure when this happened but I think it was very fast. |
