Frost, under-watering or verticillium wilt?

Hello🙂
The shrubs in my garden seem to be dying on mass. A few weeks ago this forum helped me diagnose verticillium wilt as the cause of death for my little acers. I have now noticed two other small potted trees become poorly with very distinct leaf colour change.. vivid rust colour against healthy leaf fading to a dead brown colour. Does this look familiar you anyone? Twisted Hazel and Viburnum. Thanks in advance!

Any shrub grown in a container can be vulnerable to the elements. That could be extreme cold to extreme heat, watering issues such as inconsistent watering. This can affect the plant's vigour and sometimes results in plants growing weakly.
These small trees have been gifted to me, and need more than a few inches of soil in my crowded borders. So they’re fated to a life in pots - until I win the lottery and move to a small holding with miles of wonderful loamy soil that is 🤞
