North Texas-
Some doing fine - others look like they are getting the life sucked out of them. Branches are left hollow and brittle. Removed dead bush, went to another - a pest perhaps??
Please help!! Thanks!

I dont know of any pest that can harm them. I think the yellowing is from lack of fertilize and the hollow limbs the same. I went to lowes and got some fertilize stobs/stakes for evergreens and mine perked back up. I did not have the die back you describe but mine where turning yellowish also.

Yes, I would also recommend fertilizer. This spring cut them back some too.
