Help...is my Rose of Sharon Dying

[Ozrkgirlie]

I have recently taken over my moms property. This year the Rose of Sharon did something I have never seen it do before. It looks as though 1/2 of it has died or is in the process of it. This started a couple of months ago. I thought I would wait and see if maybe it just needed water since we had a dryer summer. I am a complete novice with gardening stuff and tend to not be able to keep my own plants going. However there are a few like this Rose of Sharon and a few over grown lilacs and some very scraggly forsynthias ...which I will ask about another time...that I want to save. All of which are at least 15 years old if not older....Any help would be most appreciated. I have a picture but for some reason it isnt loading ...but I do have it if someone would like me to send one

Thank You

Look up Phytophthora in Rose of Sharon, it may be a match.
