    This is a first for me in the same area i felled a few horsechestnuts with pseudomonas syringae in the last couple years ,but never seen bleeding canker on walnut ,this year we had sudden leaf drop and a lot of the buds dried ,when for the pseudo as i have always been under the impression walnuts were resilient to phytophthora,a bit of decay on main stem from a old stem and probly hollow but should be able to salvage something out of it with the mill

    Hi all i have a clump of wild cherry and fieldmaple hazel and holly and sorbus planted 20 year ago ,in recent years the fieldmaple and hazel have not looked great and now the cherrys and hazels are looking chloritic aswell and this year alot of them have suffered and got a lot of die back with some leaves that have shrivelled ,i was thincking poor ground as it very shallow soil on to chalk and this years drought has made this worse,i havent found eviidence of bleeding canker on the stems so rulled that out for now. have knotised a lot of shot hole on the leves and some whitefly but dont think that the cause . iam interested to what other people think any help would be great thancks:001_smile:
