Leather Leaf Viburnums Lost All Leaves After Storm

Question From: Larchmont, New York, United States
Q: My leather leaf viburnums lost all their leaves after Super Storm "Sandy". Do these plant take a while to "come back". how van I save them? Please do not publish my name or initial. Thank you.

A: Only time will tell if the plant survived. If there is no sign of green on the shrub by now it did not survive. Contact your country extension for advice on how to treat your soil. Best Nancy.
