Hi,

I have a Golden Ninebark in the NW corner of my front yard. It gets morning sun and is shaded for the rest of the day. It's been there for three years, and up until last summer there's been no problems with it. Last summer was a scorcher, and towards the end of the summer it dropped almost all of its leaves from a lack of water (I was gone a lot). Anyway, this spring, there's no buds on it, but my other ninebarks have budded. Is there anything I can do to save it, or should I just dig it up and plant a new one? Thanks!
