The fungus is underneath the top covering of the bushes and only seen if you pull the bushes apart and look inside. It is covering the branches and seems to kill from the inside out. It is spreading to the other two and they are not touching each other. One bush is dying and has a huge dead section already. What is this? It looks like white powder but sticks to the branches. I need to treat this right away. HELP!!!

It's mildew. The plant has too moisture on the leaves & inside. Don't overhead water & get a fungicide spray. Cut the dead sections back. Don't over water.

I am having that problem also and do not know what it is. I live in Texas. I had a little luck by washing off the whole bush every day with a strong stream of water. It seemed to grow less.

it sounds like powdery mildew and is caused by too much moisture under the plant prune out the underside and then spray with any number of fungicides available at the garden center the problem will spread so clean you shears well
