I'd leave it till next year - but also would ask whether you've been watering - unfortunately, I don't know where you live, not even the country - the reason you're asked to say when you join is so that we know, for instance, if you live in the south of Britain, you've been suffering drought, or if you're in the North, there was a late frost in May... all of which helps you to get a sensible answer.

Thanks for the quick reply. I live in South West Scotland on the coast. Normally we have a milder climate than the rest of Scotland. Last winter was very severe for the area. Since the tree was moved (due to garden landscaping) the tree has been frequently watered. There was some damage to some of the branches but these have been removed.
I guess we'll leave it till next year and hope for some buds.
Cheers

Ah good, Ayrshire! Not that I'm terribly sure where that is, lol, other than the wilds of Scotland somewhere, but fortunately you've described where it is, so now I know. If its still green underneath, it might grow next year, fingers crossed.

Thanks Bamboo. We'll be patient and wait till next year!
