Hello everyone,

I have a question about wax myrtle, I know that it is native to this state so it was our first choice to put down a hedge in the back yard, I went to a nursery and bought the three year old bushes , put them in the ground last year around October, this month I noticed that some are dying they are brown and all the leafs are dry, we have been getting some rain in this area so I do not think water is the reason as out of 12 bushes 4 are not doing badly, I really do not understand what might be the reason for them to die and are they dead ? should I pull them out of the ground and replant others or trim them down and hope they will grow again?

any body hade this happen to them with wax myrtle? what I understood that this plant does not require much attention, it is strange because they did grow little bit before they shriveled.

Any ideas help please
