Dying Viburnum Nudum?
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my viburnum - over the last couple of weeks the leaves have been wilting, now they are turning crispy and falling off. It is in a large container and is east facing; the soil is moist and it has been fed. I can't see any bugs on it. Thanks

Thanks so much
I do not know a lot about viburnum diseases but just looked it up and found one they are susceptible to is something that fits the description and photos you have posted.
Botryosphaeria canker. It says that drought stressed shrubs are more prone so although you may have watered it might still affect them, it has been so hot and dry.
This link is not the greatest but is the description.
You may want to find it on other sources.
Scroll down to the heading Bark and branches.

Also check the soil for something like vine weevil grubs ating the roots?
