Question
I have 3 helleri bushes in a row. They are about 10 years old and have always done well. However this winter two of them lost leaves, turned yellow and looked dead. I cut into branches and the shrubs are is still alive.  I assume it got a disease as I have another several feet away and it is fine. Are there any diseases that could cause this and what can I do to prevent further damage.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Joan
