You're right Mike, I should get the soil analysed, just in case. I have though it in the past but never done it.
We have been at the property nearly 5 years. The Malus Royalty, The Holly and the Armandii must be nearly twenty years old (previous owners, though not before us, still live in the street and planted most of these).
Timeline is pretty much this:
2012 Mar Move into house (with Armandii flowering and smelling magnificent)
2012 Sept Armandii Starts to die
2015 April? Malus leaves start to come out, but wither. No leaves on Holly the same year. Early that year is the time that the Rhododendron? at the front of house house died also (pictured.... the Star Wars Magnolia still survives).
Around early 2015 is the approx. loss of the trees in neighbours gardens also I reckon.

Thanks Again. I will update later in the year.
