My soil is heavy clay.


Beech trees are suffering in this heat/dry we have had around here for weeks
and weeks so if it's like that where you live that's why your tree isn't
doing well. The Savill Garden have talked about removing theirs and
replacing them.

Thank you Bob, I live in Northern Ireland and we normally do get enough rain but it has been
exceptionally good weather this summer so I'll continue to water my tree.
