Wholed viburnums, Viburnum obovatum cultivars, are evergreen.

Luvpatch, we really can't offer constructive suggestions without knowing more about the situation. How long have they been planted, is the site well drained, is it improperly irrigated, does the site receive sufficient sunlight......are just some of the questions that I have.

The abelia almost looks like dog pee damage. Do you know which viburnum it is?

It is a Whorled Viburnum! Area is well drained where 3 of them were planted with morning sun and afternoon shade. The one in the picture is in partial shade with dappled sun. The Abelia's were 4 years old and everyone of them did this. They get morning sun and dappled shade in afternoon. They are in a raised bed area in the front of my house.
