Yoshino Cherry Tree spots?
Comments (2)Both trees were planted the end of April. It is a major drought here, I must water the trees almost every other day or every three days. Sometimes daily. I don't water too much. We live in a very hot open field, and it has not rained in 3 months. I could not dig a hole now if I tried. It's hard clay soil. (and yes I read cherry trees can stand droughts and clay soil before I bought them) I don't know what to tell you, that I didn't already say. they are many small holes all over the leaves, new and old , brown around the center of the hole. It doesn't have shock. My other trees (smaller ones) have it too. Both have normal leaf growth, and new shoots and are growing well they just have holes all over the leaves. I didn't want to leave this issue too long and risk the tree dying. The Kwanzan is much better than the Yoshino. I can get a pic tomorrow....See MoreWhy does my Yoshino Cherry tree have small leaves?
Comments (8)Ken, Thanks for your quick response. Yes we did have a cold snap but 35 feet near the tree is another Yoshino tree. It's leaves are large and looking very healthy. I will send you a picture shortly.

Comments (6)On the flip side... if your ground is just solid hard clay.. and you haven't gotten a lot of summer rain recently.... the planting hole that you dug could become a hard sink that holds any water your put down. This is especially true if you didn't break up the bottom of the hole a bit.. and ruff up the sides. I made the mistake years ago when we first moved in while planting a line of cherry trees alone the street line. One started looking just like yours did after planting. After a while of trying to keep it going and watering it more and more (thinking it didn't have enough water).... it died completely. I pulled it up and the bottom of the planting hole was holding a few inches of standing water. I remedied the sink issue... planted a replacement. Didn't go crazy on water.. and now they are all doing well....See MoreYoshino Cherry Tree leaves are small and dried out
Comments (3)Here are some pictures. Let me know if there is any other pictures needed. I hope this guy is still living. I'm in Roseville, Michigan. It got cold a few weeks ago, but not near freezing....See Moredsyoung92
