I purchased my home three years ago. I have a lovely Raywood Ash in my backyard. I don't know the age of my tree, but it may have been planted when the house was new, about 35 years ago. The trunk is approximately 14" in diameter and it's perhaps 40 feet tall.
The first autumn I had the tree, the leaves changed to the expected and beautiful wine/purple color and fell nearly at all once in October. Last year, the tree did not change color at all, it remained fully green and leaves fell slowly starting in late November through to early December. This year it is now mid-October and leaves are still fully green, with only a few starting to fall.
Can anyone tell me why my tree is no longer changing color? How often I should fertilize it (and with what fertilizer)? How often I should have the tree service out to prune it? Does it need any drench or sprays?
Any information you can give me on how to properly care for this beautiful tree is most appreciated.
Kind regards.
