Viburnum Hedges Have Become Brittle And Sparse

Question From: A. Cutliff - Orlando, Florida, United States
Q: I have viburum hedges in my front yard and for several years they were very green and healthy. Now they are brittle and sparse. I have fertilized and watered them often. Am I doing something wrong or is there a certain product I need to be using to get them to look healthy again?

A: Sounds like they need water. A deep soaking twice a week in the heat will help. Lay off any fertilizer as that will do more harm than good. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
