Autumn Cherry Tree...
Hi All,
I have an Autumn flowering cherry tree in the garden, planted earlier this year. A few weeks back it started showing signs of a fungal infection. I treated it with a fungus spray, and the spread appears to have stopped, but the infected leaves are still dropping. Is the tree likely to recover after all infected leaves have fallen? TIA, Martin. |

Autumn Cherry Tree...
What was the fungus like? If it was white and powdery on leaves and buds
then it may have been powdery mildew, which is caused by drought - specifically: dryness at the roots. This seems feasible with a recently planted tree. IF it is mildew, make sure the tree has plenty of water (an occasional autumn shower is not enough). Stress from drought would cause premature leaf fall, although leaves will be falling naturally now. If you keep on top of the watering, your tree should survive the winter. However, autumn/winter flower buds may have been aborted due to drought or damaged by the mildew, so don't expect too much this year It may not be mildew .. perhaps you could describe the fungus.
