Shrubs ID Help - Can I possibly save these?

10 months ago

Hoping someone with more knowledge than me can ID what type of shrubs these are and if I can save them?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!

As you can see there is portions of them with no leaves / dead. Is there a way I can get these back to life or are they dead in those areas and its best to just remove them? I have about 14 of them around the front of the house between the two types.

This one is the worst. None of them have every leaf dead....so is there something I can do to bring them back to life?

Thank you so much esh_ga for the help in ID'ing those bushes. I'm assuming that the Ninebark isn't supposed to be so overgrown and weeping to the ground the way it is? A good pruning necessary to get it back under control? The same with the others I presume. After you've told me what I have, I have changed my mind about getting rid of them! :-)) I think I'll just prune them all real well and hope for the best. BTW, do you happen to have any suggestions on just how much pruning each can withstand? I will be searching for care instructions on google as well but I figured I should ask seeing as you know what they are... LOL P.S. Those are NOT Tree of Heaven... but in my mind they are more annoying. They are Black Walnut seedlings, you can actually see part of one we have growing up beside the house which I would just love to cut down but the landlord wants it to stay... along with the other 8 or so we have growing around here. They might be nice trees to some people but to me and my hubby they are a PITA! Once the seeds drop to the ground they sure make a mess to clean up before we can mow... once again the landlord likes to collect the nuts/seeds but he didn't do it last year which left us to clean up after these messy trees... grrr. Thanks again for your help with my questions! ttfn Mystic.

Although it produces semi-woody stems during the growing season, Gaura is considered an herbaceous perennial and will typically dieback to the root crown or a basal rosette of foliage in winter. It is very particular about drainage and heavy or very damp soils in winter can result in it not reappearing again in spring. Otherwise, it is moderately cold hardy - zone 5.

You need to go to a better site. Someplace that's going to ask you whether the needles are flat or round, how their attached, etc.

3 different plants, the last one (#4) being dead for all intents and purposes. And all are needled evergreens or conifers so posting in the Conifers forum - with better and more detailed photos - or in the Name That Plant forum should generate better responses.

I very much doubt that google lens will be any use. Identifying conifers, even with good pictures, is a skilled job.

eta doubts confirmed. Google lens produces a bunch of random conifers. Plus Lonicera nitida, Cotoneaster horizontalis etc. ....

I had a similar situation with my Helleri Holly dwarf bushes. I added more Miracle Grow potting mix to the soil underneath the shrubs; and in a short time they came back to life! Now I faithfully add Miracle Grow yearly to them and make sure they get extra water during dry spells.
