Is the a disease?

[nogreenfingers]

Completely clueless with gardening but I have this problem n my garden and it looks as though it's diseased?

Any idea what it is and how I can help it please?

I think something is eating holes in it but probably not diseased.

Ah ok thanks. How do I stop it? Its eating all the shrubs along out front!

Wait till evening then spray with a fungicide. Something like Rose Clear should do it. Collect as much dead and diseased stuff as you can and destroy it, to stop it spreading.

Brilliant thank you. Strangely the ivy it's surrounded Dee by appears to be untouched by it.

I'll cut it right back. The whole thing seems to be effected unfortunately

The plant is cherry laurel. It looks like a black spot type fungal disease. Rose clear is a good suggestion.

It's a viburnum tinus and you've got a case of viburnum beetle. There are nematodes that target the larvae but I think they are now pupae and I'm not sure if the nematodes will have the same effect. Go onto the RHS website and look at the pests and diseases section for advice.

Thanks, just looked up viburnum tinus and the think its that. It has a horrible smell too which you thought was foxes but looks like it's beetle related. Grim.
