Q.Has My Red Robin Died?

Zone Manchester | elizkathgriff added on August 2, 2020 | Answered

I have 3 red Robin and the middle one did not get any new leaves and is now bare. I know there is a common fungus but cant find any evidence of it. Most of the branches are still bendy. Can I revive it do you think?

This looks to have succumbed to Fire blight! You can attempt to treat with a fungicide, then prune out any dead or severely injured branches that do not have bend to them.
