Thanks so much for your help. Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I did wonder if it had anything to do with the dry spring we'd had. Also back in March we had some very strong winds which resulted in the bush being partially blown over - not to the ground of course but sort of 'leaning' . Do you think this might have done any damage to the root?
Another small pyracanthus,which could well be an offshoot of the larger one as I didn't plant it, appears to be fine.
Sorry if I'm coming across as a bit of a 'numpty'. I enjoy gardening but don't have a great deal of knowledge!
