Questionhi, i have a cherry blossom tree. it bloomed beautiful this year , but now in august the leaves are yellow with brown holes and falling. what do think. i do try to be organiz.
AnswerHI. YELLOW LEAVES ARE COMMON THIS TIME OF YEAR IF YOU LIVE WHERE IT'S HOT AND DRY. TREES DROP THEIR LEAVES AS A DEFENSE MECHANISM FOR DROUGHT STRESS.AS FOR THE HOLES EITHER A FUNGUS IS ON THE LEAVES OR INSECTS WERE FEEDING. THIS SHOULD BE OF LITTLE CONCERN.JUST MAKE SURE YOU RAKES AND DISPOSE OF THE LEAVES.WATER THE TREE IF NEEDED.FERTILIZE IN THE FALL WITH SOMETHING IN THE RANGE 13-13-13. USE THE 512 RATIO FOR WATERING. 1 GAL FOR EVERY INCH OF TRUNK DIAMETER EVERY 2 DAYS IE: A 6 INCH DIAMETER TREE WOOD TAKE 12 GALLONS OF WATER EVERY 2 DAYS. HOPE THIS HELPS,BILL
