Rowan Tree problem
Although it's only July some of the leaves on my Rowan tree are
beginning to turn brown and die off. In fact, some leaves have fallen on to a hebe and that too, is now suffering a similar fate. Any ideas anyone on what I need to do? Thanks. |

If you're in an area which has been hot and dry lately, and the rest of the leaves don't seem diseased, then don't worry too much about the Rowan. Deciduous trees such as this will naturally drop some leaves in hot dry weather if the amount of water the leaves are losing to the air exceeds the capacity of the roots to supply new water. It does the tree no harm. Neil. |

Go to your Horticultural Wholesaler and get some "Agricultural Streptomycin" Fire Blight is a bacterial disease. Apply by spraying your Rowan tree (Sorbus). Derryl Killan |

Googling shows rowans in the UK do get fireblight. Treatment suggested for the amateur is pruning and disposing of affected branches or getting rid pf the whole tree. -- Kay |
