What is wrong with my cherry tree?
Comments (4)Your Cherry Tree's may have VERTICILLIUM WILT Symptoms Leaves at the bottom of current season growth turn chrome yellow or reddish orange in mid-June to mid-July (Fig. 17). Leaf discoloration progresses up the shoot during midsummer. Leaf drop follows (Fig. 18). By fall, only upper leaves remain. Disease may affect only a branch or one side of a tree (Figs. 17, 18). Young trees usually are more severely affected. A brownish red discoloration occurs in woody vascular tissue of some affected branches. Cause The disease is caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae, and spread through soil, surface and ground water, nursery stock, and infested potato feed lot manure. The fungus survives in the soil for many years, and may increase in soils infested with certain weed species. Control Avoid planting in soil where susceptible crops (potato, tomato, pepper, raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot) have been grown. Control weeds in orchards (e.g., phlox, geranium, shepherds purse, lambs quarters, nightshade). Avoid excessive irrigation, high nitrogen fertilization, severe pruning, or other practices that promote succulent growth. Prune out dead branches; plant only healthy trees. I have found that the new farm I have purchased the last three months that the fruit trees are diseased, the farm includes Apple, Peach, Cherry trees, also the farm produce's Potatoes, Tomatoes, Sweet Corn. I have found that this PDF http://cru.cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/eb1323e/eb1323e.pdf has helped me. I hope this gives you some helpful information too!

Comments (1)It's probably cherry leaf spot. My trees get it if I don't spray for it. We had a very wet spring/early summer. I didn't spray enough and have one large cherry tree probably 2/3rds defoliated....See MoreWhat's wrong with my ornamental cherry tree?

Comments (3)by late summer.. especially a bad one ... due to weather... drought .. excessive rains ... etc ... i am not very concerned with leaves ... on deciduous trees .. soon enough they will fall off ... i used to be a chem warrior ... spraying everything for every reason ... and i gave it all up when the kids came along ... and you know what ... nothing died.. and if it got ugly late in the season .. perhaps a little early .... who cares ... and if it died.. all the better.. i found something that didnt have this type of problems .... i dont see your location .. it often helps if you include it in your story ..... sometimes it makes a difference ... e.g. if you are in a location where this problem is rampant .... ken...See Morebig_deck
