    I would be interested to know what's killing/killed this tree. Browning and loss of foliage happened very quickly, no obvious signs of disease or pests. The tree is around 20 years old and has always been healthy...
    Thanks

    I read a thread in this section yesterday about this very topic.

    From memory, as there is no obvious sign of disease or pests, it is most likely due to one, or a combination of three things:
    1. compacted ground
    2. waterlogging
    3. drought
    I'll try and find where I read it and post a link .... Tree Health Diagnosis(it's at the very top of this forum page). Really informative post, so do have a read as my memory only contains a snippet.

    BTW, welcome to GC :sign0016: Sorry you're having problems with your tree and plant.

    Thanks for the quick response..........I was thinking water logging, considering we've had the wettest summer in 100 years, very possible I guess. And our soil is very much clay based :-(
