| It's a 4n1 cherry tree in 7 gallon pot from home depot. Planted in 20-inch terra cotta pot with standard off-shelf potting mix. Bud break fine with only 2 flowers, all the sudden leaves turn yellow and wilt. Dig it out take picture of the root system. Noticed it never break out the original root shape. Question: Thanks in advance Alex |

| It was probably too wet. Regular potting soil often doesn't drain well enough for fruit trees. Plus you probably should have spread the roots on the potted tree. Next time get a bare root tree in winter and use a well drained mix like the 5-1-1. You can read about that on the container forum. Also when there are no leaves on the tree you only need to water maybe once a month or less. Only water when the mix has dried some to the touch. |
