Can this be saved

[mrag]

(New here, apologies if I should post elsewhere) I have a small townhome and some of the shrubs (bushes?) in the front are not looking very good. I'm assuming the previous owner planted them so they are at least 10 years old. I've never done (or had to) anything to them (like fertilize) beyond an annual trimming. They face East, but mainly get limited morning sun. Can they be saved? What alternative plant might be good if the patient is terminal? I live 30 miles south of Philadelphia PA. Many TIA

I'm guessing we are looking at a boxwood.
Having the classic symptoms of boxwood blight, your shrub is toast not worth saving.

Are the two plants next to the one on the left also toast? How do you get this blight? A landscaper came through in April/May and trimmed mine and everyone else's bushes. Might that have been a factor?

Lots of information on the web about this disease.

The 2 plants on the right being boxwoods showing decline should also be replaced.
