hawthorne tree dying? #591711
Asked August 24, 2019, 12:21 PM EDT
I have a hawthorne which is about ten years old, in in the last two summers the branches are about 50% dead. The leaves don't seem to be diseased. pictures of the branches and the leaves and berries are attached. Can anyone tell me if it is dying or if this is normal for a hawthorn tree? Is there anything that can be done to bring it back to health?
Thank you

Expert Response
Your hawthorn does not look like a healthy tree at all. I cannot make a diagnosis from your photos. It may be a problem with the roots or damage to the trunk. The leader on the tree does not exist. I suggest you have a certified arborist make a house call for diagnosis and recommendations. Go to this web page and click on Find An Arborist. After you fill in your location and zip code, a list of certified arborists in your area will come up. http://www.treesaregood.org/
Thank you!
