Someone killing my vines?

I live in a small condo complex in Tx. I recently planted five vines on our front fence to dress up our property (wisteria, trumpet vine, star jasmine and carolina jasmine).


At least once a week I find where someone has put something that looks like salt crystals on the leaves. The first vine I lost since I didn't notice it soon enough. I now check them morning and night.


I was wondering if someone could tell me what this could possible be. It seems to turn the leaves brown almost overnight. I have had to cut back the trumpet vine and one of the star jasmine to almost nothing. In fact I think the jasmine is a goner. One of the wisteria is trying to make it. It's leaves are almost all brown on the edges but has stopped dropping them. The ends are still growing.


The other wisteria I apparently found before the stuff was on it very long. I gave it a good hosing and we ended up with just a few brown edged leaves.


What could this be - HELP- what can I use to counteract?

It looks like someone IS trying to kill your plants. You have different varities dying of the same thing. This is environmenal not disease.
Reply:Deer... Take 1 gallon of water to 7 Tablespoons of the hottest hot sauce you can find shake and spray on the plants. You will need to respray after rain/sprinkler. They should leave them alone regardless what is eating them.Good Luck....
