Our escallonia hedge is losing its leaves again this year due to leaf spot, this happened at the end of summer 2009 also. Is there anything we can do to stop this. We have this type of hedge for many years and thought the loss of leaves was due to the wet summer 2009 but we had a much better summer this year. What can we do to fix.

My escallonia hedge which i have for 20 years has lost its leaves over past three to six months, never seen this before, always a good thick hedge all year. All in my area with a similar hedge have the same problem. I believe its a leaf spot disease, if it comes back to life in spring will the same happen next autumn is it going to be a ongoing problem, we had wet summers before and i did not see this happen?
