The leaves of my young rowan tree have gone brown withered and died. This
has only happened in the last few weeks.
Would anyone know why this may have happened, and what are the chances of
tree recovering next year.

Our young ornamental cherry is started to go the same way.

Thanks
Mary

My rowan has done the same; but I put it down to moving it last winter. Its
almost certainly a root problem. The first year it was planted it went into
its autumn shutdown early and then burst into leaf next spring as normal.
So stay with it.
