Help! I have webs around branch ends of lilacs, hydrangeas, hebes and fuschia and that part dies. Can I send you clippings or photo to diagnose and recommend treatment? Thanks!

It definitely sounds like it may be a case of spider mites, although more pictures would help identify. Here is a link from our PNW website that you may also find of help: https://pnwhandbooks.org/insect/hort/landscape/common/landscape-spider-mite
Today, as it is our plant clinic, and you have some pictures that you might send along, it would be a great opportunity to reach our Master Gardeners after 10 as well. I have also sent on an email to you with more contact details.
