My Leucothoe keeps dying.

Question

It doesn’t appear that it is insect related. I water regularly. I think it is a blight.

Answer 1

Do you know the pH of the soil? leucothoe cannot tolerate alkaline soil; it must be acidic.That and consistent watering are its critical needs. You can buy pH testing kits at any garden center. See if that is the problem.
