Will I manage to save it ?

[QUOTE 4931549, member: 259"]There's a lot of conker trees dying at the moment with leaf miners spreading canker. Loads of young trees planted a couple of years ago in a grand avenue here have snuffed it. [/QUOTE]
My indoor pear tree's still here Mort. Not much taller, but it's sprouting leaves here and there,though i think expecting pears off it this year (or any) is a bit too optimistic.

Won't thrive in a pot: better in bare ground. Horse chestnut's prospects aren't great long-term. Bacterial infection is prevalent nationwide, and it's not recommended to plant any longer. There's one resistant variety - aesculus indica - if you must have one. No leaves is suspect. Scratch the bark off with your nail - if it's green it's still living

Why plant a tree that doesn't produce edible fruit anyway?

It looks pretty dead to me, probably killed by excess apostrophes.
