Picture 1000979 was the first plan that had issue and the disease killed the plant. Now I have what looks like fungus all over the place. How do I control this so it does not kill my other plants. This morning I saw it on my boxwoods as well. I am in Middlesex county in NJ.

Thanks

It's not a fungus. The Euonymus has Euonymus scale and will require a few treatments to control. Cut the dying euonymus down to 6" and fertilize. The Rhododendron has lacebug, which is easily controlled with 1 treatment, wetting the undersides of the leaves. Horticultural oil is the least toxic treatment for both of these pests.
