Cherry tree

9 years ago

My cherry tree is withering, it is at least 3-4 years old, 6 feet tall, bought last year, was in a 15 G Container, moved to backyard last year, was groping well. This spring, so far, every bud withered before it grows into leaves, flower also withered before fruiting, thought was too much or to little water, tried both way for a few days seems no effect. Please help out.

If all the buds have withered it's likely dead. Do the scratch test to be sure. Way more cherries are killed by too wet than too dry.

Thanks Fruitnut, there are still live buds but not budding as much as it was and no buds grown into leaves so far.
