I have looked at leaves and around tree but never found anything. Its huge, not like your normal size weeping cherry tree but for the last 2 years its has less and less leaves and a lot of dead limbs. Over time, it weakens the tree, which might be more susceptible to other plant diseases during the winter, as well as preventing the cherries from properly maturing. I have a Weeping Cherry tree that we have had for about 10 years. The cherry leaf spot leaves small, purple to brown spots on the edges of the leaves before growing bigger and falling out, leaving holes in them. It occurs especially in the spring as soon as the weather warms up and gets potentially humid (a breeding ground for many types of fungi to grow in). This particular fungal disease attacks the leaves of the cherry tree, as well as the stems and fruit themselves. On the other hand, prevention is simple, as it’s a matter of picking fruit as soon as they are ripe and cleaning, even burning, affected branches and fruit to make sure that they don’t spread to the rest of the tree.Also treat for any potential insects, which might come and eat through the fruit, increasing the chances of fungi to enter and multiply.Start fungicide treatment as soon as spring season hits, in order to take advantage of the warmer weather before wet conditions hit.For just about any plant disease, it starts by removing any infected areas of the tree, whether cutting down the branches or getting rid of the spoiled fruit.This article has been viewed 306,184 times. the other tree seems to be dead above the ground and is sprouting about a dozen or so branches from the roots themselves. As mentioned before, it will depend on location. We really do not know what to expect from this event.
