    Hi, I live in Los Angeles area and my question is about Japanese hedges that I have grown for past 20 years. Since last year, some plants stopped branching off. Stems got naked and eventually whole plant died and i ended up replacing several of them. I dug up around the roots and no abnormal signs that I could see. Attached pictures show this condition happening on another side opposite to where I lost several plants. Anything I can do save them please? Thank you in advance!

    Dear Kim596, I wish so much I could help you. I'm sorry that I can't. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. Horticulture isn't the topic area of this particular website. You might want to contact the horticulture department (you can find contact information here: http://www.newenglandwild.org/contac) and direct this question to them. Best wishes.
