OK - settings changed. Can anyone see it now?

Yup - can see it. It doesn't look too bad really, but I do agree with
David about magnesium deficiency - it doesnt' look like the descriptions
given for that. It's not a stunningly healthy look, but then I wouldn't
be overly worried about it either.

How long ago were the pics taken? You'd be just about to go into Autumn
leaf loss soonish wouldn't you? If so, I'd not do anything to it until
next Spring and then if it looks as sad as it does in the pics, I'd try
the usual things - check the moisture level, give it a feed with pelleted
chook poo, give it a watering with a 2 gall can to which a teaspoon of
trace elements have been added, give it some seaweed/fish emulsion, mulch
it. (Not altogether mind you, try one thing at a time and keep an evil
eye on it's progress).

HTH.


One further thought; have you done a search for fungal diseases of prunus
trees as it could be a fungal. There is a nasty called 'silver leaf' but
I've not seen it in the flesh.
