Question From: D. Cole - TEXAS
Q: My viburnum is about 14 years old and sits in the center of a very nice garden which is irrigated twice a week for about an hour. This year in a severe period of drought the leaves are dropping off. I have been hand watering it another 2-3 times per week for about 10 min. Can you advise: 1. Will it come back? 2. Advice on watering or what to do? We are located in New Braunfels, TX in the Hill Country about 35 miles north of SanAntonio. Thanks,
My guess is your shrub is suffering from lack of water. Deep watering is necessary during drought. It should be on bubbler or sprinkler for an hour once a week. Will it survive - that I can't tell you. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
