    That's American Cranberry bush 'Wentworth'(Viburnum trilobum).

    Don't worry, the holes you are seeing are the way a cut branch naturally looks. The type of plant tissue that grows in the center of the branch breaks down quicker than the outer layers, which will naturally cause a hollow tube appearance after a few days.

    Also, when pruning a branch, try to remove the branch entirely (cut it back to where it emerges from a larger branch or the trunk) or cut it back to just above a bud that you see emerging from the branch. That will improve the shrub's health and appearance over time. Cutting a branch halfway back as shown in the pictures is not so healthy.

    I would also encourage you to visit local garden centers and greenhouses for local availability.
    You may want to check with your County Extension Office for a list of suitable shrubs that are good for your region.

    Here is a link to help you locate your nearest office.

    It is difficult to predict whether a freeze-damaged plant will recover, but often, a plant will recover well even if it loses all its leaves.

    The best option is to wait until spring or summer to see if the plant puts out new leaves and to avoid pruning until then. If leaves grow on only part of the plant, you can then prune back the dead portions.

    You can also use this trick to see if it is dead:

    Late winter or early spring is a good time to prune your shrub.
