    While there are many types of plants that produce red berries this time of year, holly shrubs are typically thorny. The fact that it's leafless would make this likely Winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), which unlike other hollies is deciduous (loses its leaves in winter). This is also a tree-like form of holly and is known for its bright red berries.

    Thanks for answering - I've just walked past them again this morning and noticed a few remaining leaves on a twig - they are lobed - and based on this I've now been able to identify it as Crataegus laevigata - midland hawthorn

    Many thanks

    Jon

    Based on the information found at the below website, the crataegus monogyna, or irish hawthorne, "is extremely tough and versatile, long-lived, tolerates hot to cold temperatures, damp to dry conditions, salt, wind, heavy damage, most soils, and semi-shade."

    So - it sounds like you might have a decent shot of getting it to survive in the hot, dry Australian outback. Good luck!

    Given the extremely cold and long winter we suffered I suspect the tree possible could be still waking up. I also garden in zone 4 and am seeing some things lag behind quite a bit.

    I would not give up yet since your branches are green and bendable. Have you been quite dry this spring? Make sure your giving the new tree adequate water to wake up the roots.
    You could also contact the nursery or garden center where you purchased the tree. They may offer a replacement.

    Here is a link to proper care of Hawthorne trees.

    It will go dormant at the same time as the other plants and should began it's spring growth at the same time as the established plants.
    The age of the plants will play a part in it's blooming patterns though.

    This likely is a fungus issue.
    You can treat with Neem Oil, as this acts as both an insecticide and fungicide.

    Here is a link to refresh you on care requirements.
