It sounds like you have dieback. The white branches will be dead - cut them out, and clean your secateurs before cutting into live wood. The rest of the tree should be OK - give it a feed to encourage it to branch more.
hi alina w thank you very much for the advice i will be out there tomorrow and cut it back do you know if there is any special feed i should use .
A general feed such as MiracleGro or growmore would be fine.
thanks for all your adive you have been very helpful
