Cherry Yoshino Fungus?
Comments (6)I have three black cherry trees towards the back of my backyard. They were beautiful in 2006 when we built our home, very brilliant yellow leaves in late into the fall and some subtle white flowers in the Spring. About two years later we noticed the the leaf spot occurring within 1-3 months after leaf out and the leaves would drop throughout the entire season and by fall there was almost nothing remaining on the tree. I hired a reputable tree service company to take a look at them and they indicated that this was due to 2 things.... 1) We had a very wet spring that year which increases the likelihood of that particular leaf spot fungus and 2) Even though our house was located 50+ feet away from the trees, the roots were likely disrupted when the foundation was dug. Not surprisingly they recommended we treat all 3 trees with injected fertilizer and fungicide. I chose to treat one of them and see what happened, and they all ended up recovering over the next few years on about exactly the same schedule as one another so I don't think the treatment was at all necessary. Just hang in there, give it time and make sure that you are giving it the correct amount of water based on the weather conditions. Check out the link below to Casey Trees. It is a fascinating nonprofit organization in the DC area. lots of great information. One of the suggestions I found on that site was to purchase a rain gauge on Amazon and actually monitor how much rain we are getting locally to know if watering is actually necessary. It can be very tricky since the symptoms for too much water and not enough are so similar and soil differences have such a huge impact as well. It is a nice looking tree! Good luck!

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 MorePresumed virus in weeping yoshino cherry tree
