June 23, 2019A.I suspect it's related to the pruning and sudden exposure of internal leaves to full sun and resulting sun scald, and can also be from exposure to infection by fungal organisms from airborne spores, or from contaminated pruning shears.

Certified ExpertA.It looks like it may have been intended to be a cone at some point. As long as you are not trying to change the, overall, shape of the shrub then it will be fine to do some maintenance.
