| I've been eyeing these cherry tree at a local nursery for a few weeks but today I noticed them not looking so good. I already have one cherry tree so I don't want to pass on something to my healthy one, what does everyone think?

| If this photo is from the northeast, what you are likely seeing is cherry leaf spot which is normal for cherry trees not sprayed with fungicide. |

| That is good to know, so there is still hope for them lol. I did see some sticky sappy substance coming out of a few which worried me as well. You got my location bang on....nova scotia. |

| Yes, it looks like cherry leaf spot to me, which can be serious unless you spray for it. I almost lost my two trees to it until I discovered which fungicides work for me. Captan did nothing for it. Then last year I alternated Ortho garden spray, T-Methyl, and Rally . Then just Rally this year. My cherry trees are now the healthiest looking trees in my orchard. Marc |

| When does one spray cherry trees? Fall? I really need a second cherry tree.....do dwarf cherries pollinate tree? I ask this because I saw a small dwarf cherry but was unsure if it would pollinate my tree.by dwarf I mean a small plant about as big as a raspberry bush they sell at nurseries.....it was not a tree. But it was prunus.....I have never sprayed my cherry tree at home, and it looks great, should I be spraying? |
