Unhealthy tree #868458

I have a witch hazel tree and starting last year it didn’t leaf out as in the past. Looks worse this year. Can you help? Thank you

Expert Response

Thank you for your question.  We cannot diagnose plant problems without clear photos, and/or information about its placement, location and whether its structure is dead.  This species is not known to have many diseases, but a blight has been identified in the Midwest:  https://hyg.ipm.illinois.edu/article.php?id=85

Without photos of its leaves, this is just a "best guess".  Perhaps a visit from a certified arborist would help.  https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist

Good luck!
