All of it? or just a good cutting down?
About two or three feet left behind. It will take a while to recover but it will happen.

Will be easier to keep in shape now, once it gets some good growth.

Went out with bird food this morning, noticed that one of the limbs f the rowan had broken off in the wind. Not a large limb hick wise. First thing I had noticed after I picked it up was how light it was and completely dry inside. Had noticed that for a couple of seasons it had a bit of die back on some new shoots. As it is a kind of ash, and there has been ash die back. Would really like to know if it will get worse, as what is going on seems to be a slow process. It it is going to get worse, do I keep it?

I know very little about "ash die back" other than it exists. I didn't know it affected Rowans. My Rowan has some dead branches but it always has done so I've taken little notice.

Thank you JS, i had a read up about it but says that ash and rowan are not related. But my rowan has lesions on it like it says ash has. At the base there is a very big gash in it ore something like that. When the weather is a bit better will make a video of it to show what is going on. But it the past few years it has grown very little.

The Rowan is also known as the Mountain Ash so perhaps that is where the two types of tree can be mixed up.
