| Hi Guys,
I really need help. I bought two cherry trees for my yard and they have small pin sized holes in them at the store. I assumed it was bug damage, and one of them after planting got better (Kwanzan) but the Yoshino is just drooping and full of holes. The leaves are turning yellow and most are just full of holes. I read it might be shothole disease, how do I treat this? I bought a tree bug treatment not knowing what it was and it didn't help one bit. Does any fungicide work for this disease? I can post a picture soon but it's basically small holes all over the leaves that are brown around the outside of the hole. I am afraid I am losing my tree and the drought here is not helping. I water it every chance I get but I don't want it to die. The Kwanzan still has holes but it looks much better than the Yoshino. Can the larger trees in my yard catch this fungus? Please help!

| when was it planted ... its a great leap.. to jump from transplant shock.. to devastating disease ... and we water trees.. when they need water .. not every chance we get [i swear i have typed this 100 times this week] ... dig a hole next the the root mass you planted.. and find out if it is dry.. or sopping wet.. and adjust accordingly ... and i am very leery.. of spraying chemicals.. on a very stressed tree ... we need a pic to get anywhere with all this ... and some real facts on how and when.. this tree was planted ... see link ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: how to post pix

| Both trees were planted the end of April. It is a major drought here, I must water the trees almost every other day or every three days. Sometimes daily. I don't water too much. We live in a very hot open field, and it has not rained in 3 months. I could not dig a hole now if I tried. It's hard clay soil. (and yes I read cherry trees can stand droughts and clay soil before I bought them) I don't know what to tell you, that I didn't already say. they are many small holes all over the leaves, new and old , brown around the center of the hole. It doesn't have shock. My other trees (smaller ones) have it too. Both have normal leaf growth, and new shoots and are growing well they just have holes all over the leaves. I didn't want to leave this issue too long and risk the tree dying. The Kwanzan is much better than the Yoshino. I can get a pic tomorrow. |
