Sad Garden Tree

Question

The tree in my south facing front garden is getting g sadder by the year. I thought at first that it had got too big for its own good and had a gardener cut it back last year. However it’s no better, probably worst.

The shrub around its base is thriving, getting bigger and bushier by the month. Is this the problem and what is the solution to getting a healthy leafy tree.

thanks.

Not possible to tell from photo. It may be affected by fungi, etc. Damaged roots, etc....

They are pinnate leaves but holed, so a leaf eating bug is having a go. No idea on tree identity.

Can you provide some better photos please? Close up of the leaves and bark etc.

The shrub at the base could be contributing to the decline of the tree, but I doubt that much. It looks like a variagated Holly or Euonymus maybe. They're both tough things so you could try cutting it back hard to see if that helps the tree.

Its a cherry with silver leaf imo, that was probably  pruned in winter hence the issues etc.

 

Kind of guessing as pics bad but I think im right as Ive seen  similar

 

Best bet would be to fell and plant a new tree.

You can see its been cut before . Maybe it did not like it . Start again . Get rid of the shrub and open the plot up some .

More images. Also, I’m in Northumberland where we’ve had the wettest winter and spring ever. Keeping it would be my first choice, what should I do?
