Hey Garden Peeps! I know nothing about plant life, and this one came with our house. Just emerged for the spring and discovered the leaves on this are looking pretty sad. Like it got bit by a copperhead. So what do you say, is it dying? Can it be saved or should I just get out my axe and hack it down? And is this curse going to spread to all of my other chlorophyll loving yard friends?!
