Overcrowding seems reasonable or a problem within the root system. When you said the one behind this in question was dead, my first impulse was insects or not enough light. It seems plainly to me that the one that was completley dead, did not get enough light and/or water. The backside of your dying shrub not having foliage is due to no light. There's no question about that. The front side appears to show signs (again reiterating) that roots that feed these dying areas are being choked (overcrowding) or not getting enough water since the leaves are turning crispy brown. I don't see any fungus on the leaves themselves, but that also doesn't rule out, phytophera which is a fungal disease in the roots (root rot) that cause certain areas of a plant to suddenly up and die. Photophera is usually present when wet winters are followed by dry summers as these growing conditions promote the fungus/virus...whichever. Droopy leaves, brown crispy leaves, that's seems to be conclusive to me that your shrub is not able to transpire water whether it be competing for it or whether it has root rot/phytophera. Of course as suggested, knowing which shrub it is could be of help. However, if the others are healthy and that they show no signs of not liking the soil or cannot adapt to the soil, I'd rule out that knowing which kind of a shrub is not necessary at all. Dax

i was analogizing to the 10 foot size.. not suggesting it is a tree ... anything at 10 feet with what.. 1000 leaves.. is going to have VERY EXTREME stress.. and it would not be good to move it in summer ... not that you cant do it.. its just that it will collapse and look like HECK for weeks so just whack at it.. gal gave you permission ... based on experience ... and then move it in dormancy ... or the slow growth cool time of year .. NOT SUMMER ... its all about total root disturbance.. when the plant really needs the water to deal with summer heat ... one might say that the TIMING is all off .. ken

My kitchen has 10' ceiling and 8' cabinets (the shorter cabinets are actually ~7.5', and the taller cabinets have tall crowns that make them taller than 8') My KD recommended that we not go with taller cabinets (I had mentioned taking them all the way to the ceiling) because it would have overwhelmed my particular space. We used a very large crown (1') throughout the ground floor of our house, so I carried it through into the kitchen. I'm happy with the look and don't regret not getting taller cabs :) I think the crown on the wall really helped balance the shorter cabs. Here's a picture of my last house. I don't remember the dimensions offhand, but the ceilings were definitely 10' and the cabinets ~8'. I did that kitchen on my own when we didn't have the budget for nice cabinets or a KD, and it shows. It's like the rough draft of my current kitchen, LOL.

Here is the list containing 462 names. When you see names of hostas on the same line but separated by a front slash ( / ), this means that these are look-alike: List of Distinct Hostas It is said that out the 3800 to 4000 now registered and NR hosta varieties, between 450 and 500 are DISTINCT ONES.
