    Hello, I have an old privet hedge which has suddenly started to die at one end and it seems to be starting to spread along its length. It’s leaves are going brown in patches and then falling off. Any ideas what this might be and any advice on its management please? Many thanks
    Please see photos

    No chemical in it? Only it looks like some chemical has spilt on the hedge to kill it off
