Yes. Pretty sure it was Fusarium wilt. Mycostop slowed it down, but couldn’t stop it.
Nothing left to do but haul it to the curb.

Very similar fate as my Pyracantha - but Coral Spot got it :( I think the fact that they don't heal very well and are susceptible to a whole range of diseases like scab, fireblight, wilt don't help. Saphyr varieties are supposed to be more resistant - like Teton or Orange Charmer. They are very hard to replace as a diy project - thickening is painfully slow.

No plan here either. Starter on removing the thickest branches. Grew new branches and reduced the toplength. It is struggling a bit to get to speed. Sowill repot again this year and maybe give it a bit more rootspace.

Every year this moves a little further towards bonsai. I have a pot this might move into over the next weeks.

This tree has its own thread and I will update only there in the future.

Removed the dead branches. Brought the lowest living branch up in a sort of mother-daughter style. Brought all the other branches down. Now the basic structure is set, I supose I need to start refining and get the needle-size down. Also the daughter now has too many branches I think.
