Ohh, what a shame William. We planted a cotoneaster (can't remember which variety sadly) and that berried up the following year quite nicely, which the birds enjoyed

Thank you all, will not put another back as the disease is already in the ground, so not worth it. Still have a native hawthorn with white flowers and a standard with red flowers on that patch.

My Rowan which is at least 40 years old has suffered over the last 6 months. The spring blossoming went as normal with plenty of berries forming as usual but the dry weather has caused most of them to drop. There are a few left but I think they will soon disappear. There is also die back on about four different branches but not enough for me to consider felling the tree to start again.

Had to lop a branch of a Crab Apple and saw this discolouration in the centre - went and cleared and checked the base and found this fungal growth - Can't decide if it's terminal or not
