|  Flowers?
Hello Fellow Growers I Have A Mountain Ash Tree, Planted In 1992. It Looks Healthy, Big& Leafy. Both Last Year And This Year, It Has Hardy Flowered, Maybe A Half Dozen Flower Clusters. Is It Just Not Enough Water? Help. The Tree Looks So Good, I'd Hate To Lose It Over Something Silly |

In Australia we call Euc regnans; Mountain Ash, huge trees, some crack 400' tall. Check out Acemaster Pics and you'll see what I mean.

They like poor soils usually rocky, and access to water, has the weather been dry in the last year?

| Re: Flowers?
The tree may be suffering from drought stress, therefore will not have enough vigour to produce flowers/fruit, and will only produce leaf/buds. This is the same for trees with reduced light under dense forest canopies esp. coniferous, or those which grow on very poor soil, i.e. mine spoil. With a correct balance of water and nutrients the tree should regain vigour and continue to be healthy within a year or two. Hope it does eh! |
