I am new to this great website and posted my question on the garden forum w/no responses as of yet...I'm still learning the system! Anyway, I'm in zone 4, and my 5-year old redbud is sick...last spring it didn't bloom toward the end of april as it normally does and when it finally did get some blossoms (late May) they were very sparse. When the leaves came out, they were approx. 1/2 the normal size. In addition, it looks as if there is a ring on the ground, the diameter of the tree (roots), approx. 10', as if fertilizer had been spread in a circle, although it hadn't. The tree is located within 5' of a large old maple, has 2 dwarf apples within 8' of it, and other very large old maples within 15'. This has always been a beautiful tree and I am desperate to know what to do for it. Any suggestions? Thanks, and boy am I going to love this site!!
