In the original thread we suggested shading, and keeping it watered. The rootball was broken up at planting, I don't think we established how much or why. So it lost roots and looking at the soil now it appears to be dry and cracked. It's also next to a concrete wall which will increase water needs. Which is all a long way around my getting to the question - is the soil as dry as it looks in the picture? I think we might have also suggested giving it a spray of water on the leaves occasionally because with root damage it will have a hard time taking up enough water for cooling down with transpiration. I think it has been fairly hot in Ohio recently? Some drooping of the leaves is apparently normal with that Viburnum but this looks to be going beyond that now.
