| I 'think' these qualify as shrubs :)
They were in the middle of the yard. I moved them late last year to the edge, it's pretty damp where they are. They have green/whiteish mottled shiny leaves, They were fine all winter and had red berries on them earlier this year, but now they seem to be dying, got lots of what I'd call black blight on them, no idea what it is really. Heck, I don't even know what kink of 'shrub' they are! Anyway, can anyone tell em what they are, are they gonners or is there any way to save them. I'm no gardener (maybe you can tell) but I'd like to save them if possible. Thanks Dave E

| Your plant is Acuba japonica. When did you transplant it? These plants prefer some shade in both winter and summer but I do not believe you have winter damage--at least I have never seen local specimens looking as bad after the worst of northeastern winters. Cut back to healthy tissue if you want to try to rescue it. These regenerate quite well if happy. I have had deer eaten one recuperate from the base and grow new plants at ground level. Wonder if some kind of blight is affecting you regionally. |
