Certified ExpertA.Yes, I'm reading that it's highly toxic to animals and humans, although it's unlikely that pets would eat it. Here's an article from Colorado State University about it: https://csuvth.colostate.edu/poisonous_plants/Plants/Details/120

June 20, 2021Q.My (2) Carolina Jessamine, Which Are Potted In Clay Pots Under An Arbor Are Suddenly Gone From Great To Drying.
We are in zone 9 in Houston Texas, and for a long while they looked great and growing. now both have branches with "fried" leaves and don't know if its too much water or not enough. I had managed to keep a perfect balance but somehow I slipped. I do not know if I should water or not? we have had 90 degree weather almost everyday and down to the 70's eves. A third plant, a Star Jasmin is also looking sad?? I tested for moisture in the pot, and it feels damp about 3 inches below the surface, and do not want to dig deeper and injure the roots. Last year I lost 2 Jessamine plants still in a plastic pot to too much water, what can I do, If they die that's it for me, no more trying.

Certified ExpertA.unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage to know, exactly, what happened.
Infections from overwatering are common, as they can tolerate some drought. They cannot tolerate wet soils for long, though.
I would treat with a fungicide, and make sure that the soil has a chance to dry out, thoroughly, down to about 3 inches or so between waterings.
Here are some articles that will help:

July 5, 2021Q.Carolina Jasmine Is Dying But Has Been Healthy For Years
attached are two pictures. we have two carolina jasmine on a fence. For the six years we have been here, they have thrived and bloomed. This spring we noticed, primarily on one plant, dying portions. the other plan seems just fine. we haven't done anything to them except prune. they are watered a couple times a week with a drip irrigation line that runs from one side of fenced yard to the other for other plants. Could these be getting too much water? Should I work up the soil and refresh it? I cut out all the dead branches in April, but now more have died. YOur advice (or questions) would be very helpful.

April 2, 2022Q.My Carolina Jasmine Bush Is Sick With A Black Mold On The Branches And Leaves.
My Carolina Bush is an older bush which has been healthy until last year. I began treating it with Daconil, Fungicide 3, and Neems oil, but none of these three is clearing up the mold. Help please, what should I do to make this a healthy bush again?

Certified ExpertA.It could be sooty mold, which usually means you have an insect problem like aphids. Check for those. If you have aphids, for example, they produce a honeydew, which in turn feeds sooty mold. You can try hosing them off. If that doesn't help, you can try an insecticidal soap or a product labeled for aphid control. Here is info:

After your plant finishes blooming, I would cut it back by 1/3 to 1/2. That should help. Thinning it out will help with air circulation
