Laburnum Tree

Question

I have a Laburnum tree and have lived here for 20 years. The tree has always flowered, but this year there are virtually no flowers. It has leafed as normal. Can you help please?

Answer 1

If you had an unexpected frost or freeze during late winter/early spring, this could have affected the buds. The soil could also be lacking phosphorus. Add some phosphorus-rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to help encourage blooming.
