My post took a long time, Neal I'm not sure if the heat finished it off, it was very hot and very dry and I think it probably needed water, although it's root system was huge. I planted it first then made the bed around it, it took a couple of years to establish and used to droop when it was dry, I was always watering it then but as an established shrub I would have thought it would be OK. There was a stem which died back the year before which I had cut off, the rest was a good new stem so I was surprised. Viburnums are subject to a disease just for Viburnums I think, so that may have been it.

I have put a Magnolia sieboldii in it's place, the area behind I have had to revamp too as some things were getting too big.

This was in late May 05.
