Hi!
Hope you can help with my beautiful little shrub. It was doing very well until the last month or so.
The plant has multiple trunks coming out of the ground. Right now, whatever is wrong seems to be affecting only the little trunks in the front.
The foliage on the thicker back trunk looks ok.
In the last few weeks, the leaves on the lower branches of the front trunk are turning brown and the branches are drooping. Whatever is wrong, started at the bottom and is working its way up. As of today, the leaves on the top branch of this front trunk is showing some brown.
We have been having unusual weather in NE Ohio. It rained steadily for 6 days or so, then then had no rain for several weeks. I have recently installed soaker hoses, but haven't turned them this shrub for a couple of weeks.
I don't know if this is relevant, but I bough a magnolia from the same nursery on the same date. It died also. However, it started to grow in the early spring and even had a flower on it and then it died. We did have unseasonably warm weather and the extreme cold.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Terrie
