Waxleaf Legustrum And Chinese Plum

Our 35 year old waxleaf legustrums are turning brown and leaves falling after several days of ice and snow. Will bushes this size and age survive? The other shrubs are Chinese Plums. Any help for either? We live in Austin, TX and hate to lose these beauties.

Likely, they will do just fine. Both specimens are hardy below your zone.

Since they are not accustomed to the change in weather, they will need time to recover before they look "normal" again. This won't really require any extra input on your part, though.

Here are some articles that will help you to care for both:
