Q: Andromeda leaves turn brown, progresses to specific trunk,then entire section dies.have lost 1/2 of plant so far.There are 5 plants,only affecting one. In an exposed area

A: Your shrub probably has a fungal disease. The others are at risk. If I were you, rather than risking a bad guess, I would get an onsite inspection from a professional. To find one in your area go to www.tcia.org and enter your zip code. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
