    A Laburnum which has flowered beautifully for 40 years was once again sporting little yellow buds on ALL branches and I was looking forward to the great display soon. I could really not believe it when I checked again today and I cannot think what could possibly have caused it: all branches are now completely bare again, and where the buds were before there are now merely little bits of black crumbs . How is that possible: a tree dying within ONE week?
    Thank you

    Might have drowned, either that or a fungus attack.

      Sounds like a "late" Laburnum alright.

      I've heard that they can give an almighty last push and then suddenly die the next year :scratch:
