Do you mean murraya paniculata? If so I take it you're in Oz as this plant cannot tolerate cold.
This is a UK based forum with one or two posters from mainland Europe, Canada, USA, SA and Oz. I think your best bet is to wait and see if Pat from near Canberra spots this thread or else try an Oz based forum.
Janet do you mean the tropical plant Murraya paniculata?

This web site is based in UK ....this tropical plant that you are using as a hedging plant is not very familiar to us here.
Incase it had a disease I feel you would be well advised to remove it.....just incase the problem spreads to the rest of the hedge.
Quote wiki....
"M. paniculata is vulnerable to soil nematodes, scales, sooty mold and whiteflies. M. paniculata is the preferred host to the insect pest Diaphorina citri, the citrus psyllid. This psyllid is the vector for the citrus greening disease."
