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:
1. Is this phytophthora root rot?
2. did i water too much?
3. any suggestion if I try again?

Thanks in advance

Alex
