Hi we have a Lilly pilly screening hedge that has been well for quite some time but recently it has lost its vibrant colour and has instead turned a very dull green, almost a matte like finish with some white chalkiness, appearing somewhat unhealthy. There’s some very small pockets of more vibrant healthy fresher leaves but few and far between. I couldn’t find any relevant Lilly pilly diseases through Google search that describe this issue to help with a resolution. I may be missing something very obvious though. I’ve added photos for reference but it may be a little hard to depict the exact colouration issues. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance. Alex
