Buxus Sempervirens

[malana-3]

Advice please regarding a 3foot high potted Box topiary feature in my garden. It became infested with whitefly. I sprayed it with an insecticide but now an area of leaves have turned brown and withered. I am not sure if this is due to the whitefly or my over enthusiastic application of the spray. Will it recover or is it doomed?

I think you may have sprayed it during a hot sunny day and in the sunlight but Box is a tough old plant and should recover.
