Box Blight

[eve1974]

box hedging has signs of blight. can I cut out the blight areas now - in January - or is it too cold? can anyone recommend a good fungicide too>

I'd cut it now...its not going to get and better and for most of the blights where the treatment is cutting out, the sooner the better. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=96

Ty woof. Ive trimmed the worse affected one down hard. The other box hedge (diff part of garden) im undecided if it is blight or if it simply needs a good feeding. For those ive ordered some fertiliser and will spray with fungicide just in case.
