How do I tell the difference between winter burn and boxwood blight?

Noticing brown leaves on your boxwood and wondering if it’s winter burn or boxwood blight? In this gardening diagnosis guide, we break down how to identify boxwood blight. Learn the key differences between browning from winter burn—typically affecting the outer tips of evergreen shrubs with browning and retained foliage—and boxwood blight, a fungal disease that causes circular dark-edged leaf spots, black stem streaking, and significant defoliation. This video helps you accurately diagnose boxwood symptoms.
