Our three standard Hawthorn Pauls Scarlet.....

Put in at the same time?

Yes......could be position perhaps?

I think I am going to lose my Prunus cerasifera, the top leaves have shrivelled. Looked it up, says not long lived! Robin wont be pleased.

That is a pity as it is such a lovely one....just how old is it?

About 25 years, moved twice, must be past its sell by date, such a shame. There are some sprouting shoots lower down on the single stem, its just the 'top knot' where the leaves have shrivelled. I will keep watering with my fingers crossed!
