(well, shrub I suppose)

Hi,

I've recently found that all the hazels on the property are dying and I
wonder if anyone else has observed a similar thing? It seems to happen
very slowly, dying back from the tips with the higher leaves not opening
or being stunted.

I heard about something --virus, fungus?-- that was attacking beech
trees country-wide and wondered if this was a similar invasion. Or just
me. It's rather distressing watching a shrub die without having a clue
why, or what to do. I have cut them back to green wood and fed them
--anything else to do?

Horrible, Brian. There has been a thread on here on phytophthera. possible
Phytophthora ramorum in Viburnum tinus You might like to have a look at
that.
