Sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus. No / little leaf.

[hesslemount]

Hi There

 

I've just received an e-mail from a good client in the South Yorkshire area. Her large sycamore (mature) has just come into leaf and only on a few branches. She is very concerned as she loves the tree. Has anyone else come across this. The tree has been pruned last year but only a few branches <15cm diameter. A few trees have been removed within the near vaccinity so would increased wind exposure cause this? But other sycamores close have NOT been affected by late / little leafing.

 

Any help would be great. Does anyone know of this happening with sycamores in the area or nationally?

 

Kind Regards
