Certified ExpertA.It looks like a type of viburnum, but I can't tell from the photo which kind it is. It could be a maple viburnum or similar lobed leaf types. This article will help you with general care of viburnum:

93644Q.Leaves On The Underneath Have Started Turning Yellow All Of A Sudden
I purchased this plant about 3 years ago and haven\'t had any issues until the last couple weeks. All of a sudden, the leaves on the underneath have started turning yellow. Since it\'s getting warmer out, I moved it to a slightly shadier spot in hopes that will help. Unfortunately, I don\'t remember what it\'s called. All I remember is that it had the word lemon in it. I\'m unable to troubleshoot the issue since I don\'t remember the name of the plant. If you could tell just by the picture what it is that would be a huge help. I picked a lot of the yellowing leaves off so it doesn\'t look as bad in the picture as it did

Certified ExpertA.That looks like Viburnum tinus or similar glossy leaved Viburnum. Unfortunately, there are a few things that cause this. Fortunately, you can test for some of them. Repotting will rule out root compaction and low fertilizer. Just keep an eye on pH. Overwatering or underwatering can cause this, as well. Here are some articles that will help:

I don't want the trunk to be see-through as it grows. I have new growth on the top in just weeks. How do I encourage width growth?

Certified ExpertA.Regular trimming will help as well as how close you planted the shrubs. Here is more:

Also, if you didn't add compost or cow manure to the soil when planting you can sidedress the shrubs.

June 26, 2024Q.Is There A Evergreen Viburnum That Grows By A Black Walnut, In Shade, In Clay Soil In Zone 7 At A Height Of 7 Feet Or More ?
I need a privacy bush for one area of my yard and am looking for a dense shrub that grows to 7 feet or higher. My large black walnut is determining what I put in my yard, but it also provides a lot of much appreciated shade in the summer. Although I would love an evergreen, I may have to go with a deciduous bush instead. I prefer to use a variety that is native and helpful to wildlife either birds or butterflies or both!!!

Certified ExpertA.Evergreens that are tolerant of juglone include Arborvitae Thuja, Canadian Hemlock, and red cedar. The Canadian Hemlock will take part shade. Another good choice might be blackhaw viburnum.
