1 of 3 viburnums stunted

Hi,

About 4 years ago I planted 3 viburnum (can''t remember if mahawk or mohican) on the West side of my house near an air conditioning unit in part shade (house to the east, magnolia to south). 2 out of three are awesomely beautiful and about to flower. The third (closest to A/C unit) is 1/2 as big as the other two and has no leafs or buds but when I scratch it it is green. I am freaking out about losing the other 2 ...

And then I have a Viburnum Wentworth not too far away w/ one of its 3 main stems looking dead.

Do you think these guys have a disease? Am I going to lose them all????

Thanks,
Shadey

Not enough information here to tell. Maybe pull it up and see what the roots look like. As the roots go, so goes the top.

If it's about to flower now, it's 'Mohawk'.
