..... strange though as the other five birches they have are all doing very well, only the two with spots fitted are dying.

Many possibilities , would be interesting to have expert looking for other damage !
Opportunistic insects , fungus , or even leakage currents !

in 2008, I went to a faulty Son flood. bracket just screwed to tree, been there several years. I replaced with a metal halide unit, screwed the same. 10 years later, tree and light still working as normal. what's all the fuss about?
