A cherry blossom tree is a beautiful addition to any landscape. However, if a cherry blossom tree is not properly cared for, it can quickly die. If you have a cherry blossom tree that is struggling to survive, there are some things you can do to try to save it.<\/p>\n

If your cherry blossom tree is dying, there are a few things you can do to try and save it. First, check the roots to see if they are still healthy. If the roots are rotted, there is little you can do. However, if the roots are still alive, try to replant the tree in a location that gets more sunlight. Pruning the tree can also help to encourage new growth. Finally, fertilize the tree with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to help it recover.<\/p>\n

Why is my cherry blossom tree dying? <\/h2>\n

The cause of Brown Rot Blossom Blight is a fungal disease. The blight attacks fruit trees such as fruiting and flowering apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. Fungus spores infect the tree blossoms in the spring, when the blooms begin to age. Many tiny black spores begin to cover the dying flowers.<\/p>\n

Cherry diseases can be treated early by cutting off an infected branch at a point below the gall and applying fungicides three times annually: in spring, just before flowering, and just after. Fungicide application is also the treatment of choice for brown rot and leaf spot.<\/p>\n
