Commiserations on the loss of your hawthorn. Gut wrenching especialy when you have done everything right. Could it have dried out. Now white pine is a species I always stuggle with. There are always little niggly health issues with mine. YOUR TREE LOOKS GOOD. Is this a grafted variety
Health wise this ones been a little gem… Soon as I got it at the Swindon show 2year s ago I potted it up. Straight into a bigger pot with more soil etc. It was left to grow on and only style Dec2015.
It likes to be dry ‘ish in its soil. And Yes it’s a grafted JWP the graft is visable where the fat bit meets the smoother bark on the trunk.
