My laburnam tree also seems to be dying. It flowered beautifully this year and after it had finished a few weeks ago, the leaves have just shrivelled up.

There are two small holes in the trunk of the tree. Also my husband had to cut the tree around 18 months ago in in the winter as it almost came down on top of our car in a gale. He had to cut it drastically to reduce the weight at the top. It was about 20 - 25 ft high but is now only about 12 ft high!! I did plant some small ground cover plants in May this year as well. Do you think I could have disturbed the roots although it did go on to flower and produce leaves. It is about 15 years old.
