Garden Pests and Diseases: What is wrong with these boxwoods?, 1 by iclavdivs

I've seen so many boxwoods go brown and die over the years!

look at the picture every single one is affected in exactly the same way.

Strange how they're browning from the center but the tips are still green.

If these shrubs are lost - that's going to be an expensive loss.

there's webbing on the leaves (some belong to spiders but I think some are spider mites?)

I think I saw some mealybug clusters too - could that be the problem?

If so I'm thinking that bayer advanced tree and shrub (systemic) should help.

Thanks for ANY thoughts or guesses
