Gardening boxwood plant problems #872972

Asked June 13, 2024, 2:22 PM EDT

We have about 20 boxwood plants, and about 1/3 have been starting to brown and eventually die. some are potted and some are in the ground. The plants that receive more shade seem to have a higher prevalence of browning, but it is still a mix. Photos are attached. What is the problem and what can we do to stop the spread of this to all of our boxwood plants?
