I’m wondering if my yellow barberry is dead. It has dropped its leaves and I see no sign of its yellow flowers this year. Could our -16c winter temps have killed it? My father wants to remove/ dump it, but should we give it another chance? Also, our clematis hasn’t flowered either. Will it benefit from a cutting back to the roots or shall we just get rid of it?
