Getting patches of brown on parts of my Leylandii hedges.Sprayed them with greenfly killer but could it be anything else. You can rule out windburn because they are sheltered. It is only patches here and there,not the whole of the foliage

Trimmed them early August but these patches are not due to trimming as I have been doing this for fourty years and never cut into old growth.

There's a disease going around which is affecting Leylandii at present. Seen quite a few which have gone brown recently.
