    Hi All

    I set a few dozen trees for REPS 2 years ago. All going fine until this summer as the leaves appear withered & eaten away.

    Are they under attack by some pest?

    Could they be sprayed or is there some other solution?

    I'd be thinking the same, and depending on where you are in the country, you could throw drought into the mix!

    Its the weather mate - most of the trees near my place in North Mayo are suffering the same way too, never seen anything like the damage:(

    Its the same across a lot of the west. Donegal has also been particularly affected by this. I've seen some young trees in Dublin and Wicklow with similar damage but I think it may be a lack of watering.
