Is this red robin going to survive?

[Indianapolice]

We bought a photinia red robin, grown as a full standard sized tree around 6 months ago and planted carefully with the help of the nursery we bought from.

When we had the freezing weather over winter it's leaves all started drooping, then as spring arrived they all fell off 🤯

It had a full canopy of unblossomed flowers, which I've cut off to try to allow it to put the energy into new leaf growth rather than blossoming.

I think it might have fireblight or some kind of fungal infection as the last round of new leaves all turned crispy before maturing. I've applied a fungus treatment in the hope it works.

Have I got any hope at all? Is there anything else I should be doing?

Hopefully a better Quality photo

Have you watered it during the very hot/dry weather we had in April. Young trees and shrubs need watering regularly in their first year. Would explain the crispy leaves.
If there is still some fresh growth it will hopefully survive.

Don’t cut the blossom off, part of its natural growth cycle and will have checked its growth, and you may have inadvertently cut off the new leaves.

In my area it has been an awful year for these. Mine and four other people I know living locally have all had enormous leaf loss. My garden was a sea of red leaves!
I did a bit of reading and it seems it was the very wet winter. Advice was to thin out the branches to improve air circulation and hopefully the summer will cure it.

It looks fine to me. There are leaves on it and leave the blossom on. Water it regularly too.. I pruned mine last year and this year half was ok and I thought I had killed the other half. Looked at it this weekend and it had tiny new shoots on the bit that looked dead. It will be ok

Funny that you should post this, mine is a very, very mature bush, well over 15 years old, and all the leaves in the last week have turned crispy and died - I only noticed yesterday, it was fine last weekend!

Thanks everyone. I'm saying a prayer that those new tiny leaves make it to adulthood! 🤞🏻
