I have a laburnum tree and it has been here long before I moved here 31 years ago and every year I get coments, it looks fantastic but sadly this year nothing has appeared no leaves and sadly no flowersdo you think it may have a desease or some other problem
Laburnum tree's can last for up to 50 years but not many do and the main issue is that they die from the rootball upwards due to root virus, the best way to get them to flower is to treat them mean, they tend to thrive in poor soils, you will find many specimens on waste ground that has been left for years and there ability to spread there roots are restricted. Check out you local area and I'm sure you will spot quite a few that have been planted and left to look after themselfs and these are usually the one that have masses of flowers in spring. Hope this helps
Our laburnum has turned around. We fed it with some slow release chicken manure pellets. It has had good foliage growth and a lovely display of flowers.
My neighbour planted a laburnum tree just a few feet away from my back door a few years before I moved in. 10 years on, it's such a nuisance. It sheds seeds, pods, leaves and petals all over my patio 12 months of the years. It has reached a height that means I have had to move my satellite dish and it blocks out the sun all morning. I get on well with my neighbour and want to offer to pay to have it trimmed and the canopy lowered, will it harm the tree if I do it in the spring so I can enjoy summer in my garden?
Well, if he refuses to do anything about it that's just hard luck, as it was there before you moved in. But you can of course trim back anything on your side of the fence, but only back to the fence-line.
After last year when my young laburnum flowered profusely, this year at least two branches haven't flowered at all and one branch only flowered at the top. Why has this laburnum not produced flowers in these areas?

My Laburnum has a sticky resadue all over it which is going on to other shrubs around it, is there anything I can do about this?
