    his link may be of some help: http://hort.ufl.edu/database/documents/pdf/tree_fact_sheets/sorauca.pdf

    You would need to ''limb up'' your plant into a single trunk for a tree shape. Folks around here leave them as shrubs too. If you transplant now, the root system will continue to develop over the winter. Then, in the spring, your plant won't have to be making roots, leaves and blooms at the same time.

    I would recommend moving your rowan tree in the late fall after it has gone dormant.

    This is still a fairly new planting, so it could be suffering from a bit of shock, likely heat stress. The roots have not had enough time to fully establish, making it more difficult for the tree to withstand the high summer temps. Newly planted trees also require lots of water, so you may want to up its irrigation some.

    Ash Tress have been plagued with issues the last decade.
    I would suggest you have the tree inspected by a qualified Arborist to make a correct diagnosis.

    Here is a link for you with more information.

    Some species of rowan are quite slow growing, so it is possible that this tree is still too young to flower. Another possibility is that it's not getting enough sun, or lacks nutrients important for flowering including phosphorus and potassium. Correcting these issues should promote flowering.

    This article might help you find the answer. The same problem can occur in late summer as well, especially in a hot and/or dry year:

    Also check this article about rowan diseases in case yours is showing any disease symptoms. Rowan is also known as mountain ash or by its scientific name, Sorbus.

    Oh no! That is, basically, the equivalent of cutting a person's head off! Sometimes, a tree can be saved with careful surgery as long as the ringing is only a strip of 1 or 2 inches. This is severe damage, unfortunately. This cannot be saved.

    The only thing that I can do is provide a link that will help you to keep moose out of your yard in the future. This will offer some information:
