Box shrubs

Hi,
I've got some box shrubs on which the edges and tips of the leaves have started to go yellow. I've had a couple of others on which the leaves have gone bronze and then the complete shrub has died. Is there any cure or preventative measures?

Hi Chris, I don't know box blight from any other box problem but I'll get you back to the top of the forum
In the sticks near Peterborough
Yellowing is a sign of stress - normally lack of water during the summer.
Ive just moved mine and they are suffering for it. You can still get away with taking some cuttings which I have done.They just need some tlc.
Thank you for the advice, I'll definately take some cuttings to plant out next Spring.
My box balls in pots started to go orange/ yellow. I thought it might be lack of feed, so i put some slow release pellets in and they greened back up. So now i add pellets to each pot every spring, and they are all looking very healthy
