Dying rowan in street
Last year, a delivery driver from Wickes stopped his van in a position
where he had to hack off a lump of bark from the rowan tree outside our house in order to open his van doors. I phoned the council tree department the same day in case they wanted to come and treat the tree in some way. I don't think anyone came out or did anything, but that was early spring, and the rest of the summer the tree seemed normal. At the moment, only a small branch the opposite side to the injury has some green slightly-open buds on it, and the rest still just has the dark leftovers from last year. The wood on those inactive branches has a green patina, and up the trunk is what looks like a dusting of white powder. Does it sound as though it's had it, or given another year might it recover? |

A bit early to say yet. It could be that the rest of it will be putting on leaf in a few weeks. Rowan in my garden shows no signs of life at all yet.
