OH! I had some more damage--but if i took a picture of these--you would not be able to tell.

I have Jap. Hollys (3) around the corner of my patio where I keep my grill. They, sort of, created a small area that was shielded from open view. One of them lost about 1/3 of the whole shrub.
I am sure it did not help that i did not shape them last year with my hedge clippers. Now I am paying for it!

See the low clipped shrubs at the corner by the light? Those are the ones i am talking about.
Behind them is my grill. Now they are fairly sprawled and facing the grill--there is a BIG chunk of the shrub that broke off.

Oh well! Nothing we can do!
