Evergreen honeysuckle leaves coming off and white powder on leaves and stems.
It had really taken off this summer but leaves started to drop and noticed white powder on leaves but now is all down the stems as well. Doesnt look at all healthy.
Any ideas on what it could be or what could fix it.
Please bear in mind that a Robin has created a nest in the wall behind it (at the base of the plant) and I dont want to affect it or its family.

Full cream milk - not that is a new one! But will give it a whirl.

It is supposed to work very well.

Sounds like Powdery mildew. Often caused by dryness at the roots. Try giving it a good soaking, and spray with 1 part full cream milk to 9 parts water. This should not affect the robins.
