Weeping Fig is losing its leaves worse than ever - root rot?
Comments (24)If, under magnification, you have no reason to think it's related to a living organism, it might simply be dissolved solids left behind from an exudate - sort of like the limey deposits often seen of tea kettles or plumbing. Sometimes, either by the process of guttation or through mechanical injury sites, sap is forced from the plant under pressure. When the water in the exudate evaporates, whatever was dissolved or suspended in the water - sugar, mineral salts, resins, ....... is left behind.

Comments (15)Dan, I've seen enough of this disease to diagnose it at a glance - the brown and dried-up, persistent flowers and lack of foliage are extremely characteristic. Like I said, it is endemic to flowering cherries in my area, especially after the soaking wet spring we've had. And yes, you do need to prune back to the viable, healthy leaf growth towards the top of the branches. Now you can understand why I said your little tree will probably never look good - most weeping cherries around here look like someone took a hedge trimmer to the weeping branches all the way around the tree, just to keep this disease in check and to remove the unsightly dead-looking branch tips. By the time one is done with this, there's not much 'weeping' about the tree any longer. I could show you a half dozen just like this in my neighborhood alone and it's not bad pruning - just sick trees :-) I would never, ever recommend planting a weeping cherry in the PNW regardless of how great a bargain it may be or how pretty it looks in bloom at the nursery. It is usually just a waste of money. And I am very cautious about recommending any other type of flowering cherry - these trees have so many issues associated with them in our climate, WSU has published an entire booklet (not a brochure, a multi-page booklet) on problems of ornamental cherries....See MoreWeeping cherry dropping all leaves after organic spray
Comments (3)I am assumng the products used are actually Impede and Neem oil :-)) And neither one should have much of a negative effect on a weeping cherry (although Lord knows they have enough other issues!!). Impede is just an insecticidal soap although at a somewhat higher concentration. And Neem oil is a go-to organic control for a variety of insect, fungal and mite issues. Both of these are contact insecticides, so "preventative" is a bit wishful thinking. But even so, unlikely to do much harm I would guess that the timing of the spraying may be playing a role. A wide variety of plants can develop phytotoxic reactions to insecticidal soap (or other pesticides) if sprayed during sunny conditions. This can cause them to lose foliage or it to burn and dry. If provided with sufficient moisture, they will often releaf rather promptly, given reasonable weather conditions....See Moreweeping cherry curled leaves & something's eating it
Comments (11)I had someone plant it for me, so I didn't see the root ball. It was planted soon after it bloomed, so that was probably March or April. I think it was in a 15 gallon container. It was the hottest in late June when it got up to 114 one day.. There is no plastic under the gravel. Most of the houses in my tract have gravel yards. At night the temp goes down about 20-25 degrees from the daytime. In early July, we have a monsoon season and it rains every few days. This was a particularly wet year. The monsoon season lasts about 2 months. Once the monsoon season started, the temp in July was usually in the high 90s or low 100s. Everything is on a drip watering system. I gave it and other things more water on hot days. Once September comes, the temp starts going down. The highest temp is about 90 now but it's mostly in the 80s now. We are at about 3300 ft elevation, so it can snow a little in the winter....See Moredave_giordano_ge_com
