Sick Yoshino cherry tree

17 years ago

About a year ago, we built a house is southern DE. The builder planted a Yoshino cherry tree which is now sick. I'm hoping someone can diagnose the problem and recommend some products to treat the problem.

The symptoms are peeling bark, wounds on the trunk and holes in the leaves which then turn yellow and drop. I've attached a pic of the trunk - hope that helps.

I was reading about the cherry trees in DC and how they treat them. They referred to 'bark tracing' - does anyone know what that is?

Thanks!!

I know I shouldnt post this but maybe you can find something similar. I had a similar problem with one of my Yoshino cherry trees several years ago. I sprayed the hole tree with diazinon and cut the affected limbs. The tree is huge now with no more problems. I don't know if you can find anything in comparison to diazinon, but if you can try it.

I live in NJ and had/have the same thing last year. I didn't do anything about it and the tree seems to be fine for now.
