Less than 10% of my camellia has leaves like in the attachment. Is this a concern? If so, what should I do? (Organic, natural remedies preferred to pesticides, IF possible!)
Thank you,

Expert Response
Thank you for your question, Nancy. I suspect that your plant has the following fungal infection: https://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/host-disease/camellia-ramorum-leaf-blight-shoot-dieback
However, a reliable diagnosis can't be made outside of a lab. I suggest that you submit your leaves to the OSU Plant Clinic for diagnosis: https://bpp.oregonstate.edu/how-submit-plant-materials
Good luck!
