We purchased a Amelanchier Lamarckism tree in May 2020 for £50.
It looks poorly and we have asked the Garden centre for advice which they have given and even offered a refund or exchange.But we do not want to give up of the tree !
It appears to been burnt? Any opinions ?🙈🤷🏼‍♂️

    Is this on the lower leaves? Could it be that they got wet during watering and then they were scorched by the heat and hot, drying winds? I see your specimen has a lot of support. Does it keel over if just staked at the first third of the trunk above ground level?

    For that amount of money I would take the garden centres offer and either exchange it have a refund if they don't have another. You will probably have to take the plant back so that they can see it and your receipt.
    It is a lovely tree and worth growing but starting with one that is unhappy it could take a long time before you benefit from it.

    The leaf damage is throughout the whole length but some branches are ok?
    The cream garden building is our neighbours and only been in place 6 weeks and we can have strong winds before it was in place.With it being a young tree the supports are lose and to keep the top in place.
    When I scratch its bark it is green * good.

    Returning it would not be my first choice in part because I feel the tree is reacting to ?
