hey team
This established vine is looking sick after two years of healthy growth. If watered when dry. Fertilized regularly.
It seems to have more webs than usual. Which is my only idea of why this is happening
Hi @amichaelmedia,
You might like to start by reading through this helpful guide: How to diagnose a sick plant. There's plenty of great information that might lead to an answer.
Do you happen to know what type of plant it is? Perhaps Hardenbergia violacea? I notice some similarities in this discussion: What is the problem with my Hardenbergia leaves? In that discussion, my colleague @EricL recommends: "removing all the infected leaves and stems, don't mix them in with your compost, throw them straight into the bin. I recommend using Yates 750ml Fungus Gun Systemic Disease Spray. Yates Fungus Gun is a broad-spectrum fungicide for roses and ornamentals that works systemically within the plant providing both protective and curative action."
Let me tag our experienced members @Noelle and @mich1972 for their thoughts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi team.
My problem is back again.
I used an eco-fungicide 10 days ago. But the disease or what looks like the disease is still going strong.
Could it be lack of water or poor soil? Hasn't been fertilized for 6mths and the climbers are planted in coverings/a little Sandy loam and clay base.
I've picked off the diseased/dryed out/dead leaves also.
My second climber has started showing these effects too
Your soil is looking exceptionally dry, @amichaelmedia. How often and for how long are you watering?

We are having a small wet spell where I'm at in Sydney, but prior to that it was quite hot for a couple of weeks @amichaelmedia. Currently the need to water plants here is non-existent, but a couple of weeks ago during the warmer weather, watering every couple of days would be necessary. However, it's more important to check the soil moisture and let that determine whether you need to water or not.
How absorbent is the soil in that area? It appears a little hydrophobic. Does the water penetrate easily? I'd suggest you move to a regime of if the soil is dry then water it. Stick your finger in the soil and if it is almost dry, water.
