About two or three feet left behind. It will take a while to recover but it will happen.

Re: TREES
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?

Re: TREES
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.Willpar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 10:14 amWent out with bird food this morning, noticed that one of the limbs f the rowan had broken off in the wind.

Re: TREES
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.

Re: TREES
The Rowan is also known as the Mountain Ash so perhaps that is where the two types of tree can be mixed up.Willpar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 9:28 pmThank you JS, i had a read up about it but says that ash and rowan are not related.
