My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shrub injury help

10 years ago

I have these shrubs (which I don't know what they are) and one of them started dropping leaves in one area. What can I do to improve it's health? And if it ends up not making it, what is the plant so I can get a new one?

    wait until it buds out.. then prune out the dead ... if you look close.. do you see any live buds on the bare parts??? ...t hey should be expanding soon .... are they bendable.. or do they break ....


    why would you replace a problem plant.. with the same thing??? ...


    others will have to ID it ... and discuss disease potential ...


    any dogs around??
