Anyone successfully deal with Boxwood Blight? I pulled up some videos on treating it so yesterday I cut back and thinned out my boxwoods and sprayed them with a fungicide. I'll spray again in 2 weeks, but I was wondering if anyone has had success eradicating it? Just really hoping I don't have to replace them. They are only a few years old and were looking so nice up until this year. So frustrating.
I have a few boxwoods out front... no blight, so can't help with that.... but have you noticed that the plants smell like dog pee? I kept thinking my tenants dog was peeing on them, but no... it's the shrub itself that stinks. Not sure I'd want any more of them!

No - fortunately ours don't. Maybe it's a specific variety?

Engish boxwood has been reported to smell like urine. Others call it a resinous smell. I just pretend it's resinous. Suggestion goes a long way.
Linden trees, for example, have a nice, perfumey smell, but some say it smells like bleach or something even worse. So keep telling yourself it is perfumey.

Remedy- mostly cultural. Note a proper timing of fungicide application
