When we moved into this house there was an abundance of shrubs & bushes. Over the years we've lost some. Due to soil conditions, heat, drought & possibly something living in the soil. We've lost a rose bush, most of a Rose of Sharon bush, half of an azalea & a good part of a wild rose bush. It seems another Rose of Sharon bush is falling as well. I went to check on some dead leaves last night & most of the bush fell over onto the ground. I might be able to salvage the stump.
The past several years have been hard on growing anything. It's either feast or famine in regards to rainfall. There have been numerous very hot Summers. Those hot, dry years combined with the near floods have weakened the plants & they're dying off. I'm not sure how much longer any of these shrubs will make it with this weather.
Hopefully, they'll last. They're what attracts the hummingbirds & other yard animals. I'd hate to lose those as well.
Cya...
