    I would fertilize and also treat the plant with a fungicide, as these two things will help fix many of the other possible causes for the unhealthy plants.

    This may be browned up due to cold temperature exposure. The inside of the snap test looks alive and that's a good sign.
    Make sure to water enough to keep the root system growing. Wait to fertilize until you see new growth. Don't try to feed it into growing, rather let it wake up. If alive, new leaves should push out the old leaves.
    After you have active growth you can feed with an evergreen fertilizer as per package directions.
    Good luck!

    Unfortunately, we can't tell from this photo. My best guess would be something in the "Prunus" genus. Maybe a Laurel? Potentially a Skip Laurel or something similar.
