| Hi there...
My neighbour (elderly woman) asked me to help her out in diagnosing a problem with her cherry tree... I'm not sure if perhaps it was caused by the heavy rains this spring... But it's a mature tree and as you'll notice from the picture the leaves are turning yellow and are becoming spotted. Leaf spot perhaps? Not sure... Need a diagnosis and remedy please. Thanks. |

| That's what I'm thinking. Any ideas for the type of fungicide that I should use to kill it? Should I apply the fungicide now or wait until the fall? thanks |

| Treenation: I have 3 tart and one sweet cherry. Sometimes I get leaf I have a few leaves with spot now, but since my cherries Do not spray chlorothalonil on your tree if it currently has fruit on it that you plan to be harvesting. Chlorothalonil is registered for use no later than shuck-split or can be used AFTER fruit is harvested to control Captan can be used while you have fruit on the tree. Just If not controlled, leaf spot can weaken the tree if it gets |

| To add to that make sure the leaf clean up is done well. |

| Nothing will cure the affected leaves that I know of. Immunox will stop it but if there's a chronic problem that's causing it, like staying wet with morning dew because of shade or lack of air flow (that fence?), it will continue coming back. If that's the case I would try a different variety and/or a different spot. |
