only one of my OWs has this brown splotch.

So the temps have been great lately, but earlier this week it dropped to 35 One morning for a hot minute. If this is cold damge though, why aren't my other OWs showing these symptoms? I top dressed with a little alpaca poo, but it's way too light to burn anything. Can't find aphids, though there are a couple little black specks here and there on the stems that have a white web coming from them when I pull them off, I assume that's scale? Either way there were only a few. What's goin on?

It looks like what often happens to rose bushes with black spot and this happened to my OWs one year, the 7 pod brown. I put it out to the street thinking it would harm the other plants, trim off all the dead and see if it recovers. 
 
It's not aphids. I see no telltale signs of them and further, aphids generally attack the newest growth such as the tips and flowers. In essence where most off the plants juices are present. I see nothing that indicates this. Looks more viral.
 
neem oil into the soil ( heavy dose )  i used fertilomes triple x with neem , treats fungal in soil ,leaves , kills mites all critters . got it at the local nursey . or could spray h2o2 on leaves , and treat soil .    worth a shot     :onfire:
 
Mine do this every year, it's fungal.  It's from the soil staying too wet.  Won't really hurt the plant too much in the overall.  Water less and maybe put a fan on them about an hour or two a day.
