Hey, everyone. I live in SE NC and I bought a double grafted dwarf pink
double bloom cherry tree the first of May. Planted it in good drianing
soil( a little clay/sand on the top1-2" and good dark soil underneath)
where it got full sun in the AM & early PM and shade after 3pm (which the
nursery keeper stated was fine) and keeping it watered every day. All
things going good for a month (to the first of June) and then we had about
a week of rain, off and on, so I did not water it for 5 days, as there was
rain at least 2 hours everyday. Three days after the rain subsided and
decided to move northward, my trees' leaves started to "curl" not tip to
stem, but side to side and looked a little 'puney'. I had already started
to watering it again for two days. The NEXT day the leaves turned yellow,
but not on the tip of the branches, but near where the branches stemmed
from the tree to about half way down the branches. Again, the very next
day the yellow leaves started falling off. This is no exaggeration as it
happened over a three day pass that these events too place. The tree
still has green leaves on the end of the branches but is 'naked' from the
trunk to the middle of the branches where the greenery begins. Any
suggestions? Too much water? Not enough? Needs something extra? Thanks in
advance for any advice.



We water 2 gallons twice per week - rain or no rain.
