Weeping Cherry Tree Has Brown Leaves

RE: Weeping Cherry Tree Has Brown Leaves Post by Shosha (48) | (06/25/2008) Profile | Contact We live in the middle of a small orchard that my husband and I planted. We've had all kinds of ... challenges... with our trees. Get yourself a 5 gallon plastic bucket (a fast food place might even GIVE you one... ask for an empty pickle bucket. about an inch and a half from the bottom, drill a 1/16th" hole. Set the bucket by the tree and fill it with water. Once a week with average rainfall... up to three times a week during particularly hot times. Good luck!

We've added a 10-10-10 fertilizer to it and are religiously watering it for 1/2 hour once a week. We assumed the rain was enough, but it's not. We did end up cutting half of it off. But it's beautiful, so I won't give up yet!!!

It turns out the spot I planted them in was way too wet and they drowned. Even though the ground looked dry, the hole would fill with water as it did not drain well do to our clayish soil. You might check yours for too much water. Soochatty/De.

Then I planted another one this year and it also died. I don't know what the problem is with these trees. I have done everything correctly, but cannot get them to survive. I will not spend the money on another one. Good luck,hope you get the answer you need to save the tree. Report Spam or Abuse
