Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have two Holly bushes that have developed what I think is fungus. The underside of the leaves have long white spots. When I shake the branch, small particles fly off. Do you know what it could be and, if so, how do I take care of it? Thank you.
