I'm not sure what type of Rhododendron shrub I have but its an evergreen with a woody base, green bushy leaves with deep cerise pink flowers in spring. One side of it has been damaged/broken by a cow which has left it unsightly and I'm wondering if it can be reshaped by pruning or when it could be done.

Most of the leaves on my Contorted Willows are withering. Other varieties of willow are doing very well.They started the season very well and have deteriorated in the last few days.On the older Contorted Willows the upper leaves on the new growth are OK at the moment but the rest are dark brown and dried out. This is happening to the side shoots as well.We have had a lot of strong winds recently. They are in damp ground in which they usually thrive.
