galls
digger9083, you may want to investigate what steps you can take to reduce the shrubs' environment's moisture levels in order to reduce the chance of fungal infections. Some simple steps to consider: water the soil (not the leaves) early in the mornings; replace the mulch with new mulch; pick up plant debris that accumulates under the canopy of the plants; allow some separation between plants; remove the galls before they turn white and spread more spores. The link below shows some chemicals that you can use to treat this condition. You should see improvements by next year, not immediately or in the short-term.
