| Hello, I planted a Bing and Black Tartarian Cherry tree in my backyard a year ago. I noticed on the leaves that there were strange brown/black spots all around the edges of the leaves. The spots moved inward toward the stem in a line of dots. I'm having trouble identifying what could be causing this. Here is a link to photos of the leaves. http://imageshack.us/g/705/dscn0108nj.jpg/ Thanks in advance for any help.

| how hot do the surrounding rocks get???? looks to me.. more like they are frying in heat.. rather than a disease .... and it will be very hard to differentiate between the chicken and the egg ... perhaps it is a severely stressed tree.. due to ambient heat ... upon which a disease has now settled ... if so.. no amount of cure is going solve the stress ... CA is awfully giant... tell use more about where you are.. and perhaps a bigger pic of the whole yard .... and throw in some info about what the summer weather was like.. and what your watering protocol was/is .... and how you planted it.. as far as unwinding roots.. amending the soil.. etc .... ken |

| it is NOT evergreen in your area is it??? if not.. then arent those leaves going to fall off soon .. my cherry/prunus lost their ugly leaves about 2 months ago ... winter is coming soon.. even in CA .. lol if so.. do NOT waste effort on controlling a disease at this time of year .. just clean up the leaves once they fall off .. this is where you tell us this is some magical CA cherry that stays evergreen.. there is a fruit forum.. and i havent seen the great fruitman over here.. he usually comes up with fruit theory i dont study in the tree forum.. good luck ken |

| Dr4ought stress. Reason: dead tissue is between the veins; i.e. a distance from the water source. Pot size is limiting it. As is reflected heat from the surroundings. That tree needs to go into the ground or a VERY LARGE container. |

| It seems like gardeners who live in some of the hottest locations use white stone as their 'mulch' of choice. I just cringe when I view pictures of the typical planting bed in, say, Arizona (for example). I've often wondering how stone becomes the norm in such places? |
