Bayer Garden Arbrex Seal & Heal

Product Information

I personally, would not take the risk of waiting until the summer months and have the limbs removed as soon as possible. To avoid infection from silver leaf, I would paint the cut limbs with a bitumin sealant which, can be obtained from any Garden Centre or DIY Store. It could be that your Dwarf Cherry is suffering from Shot Hole Disease Tabitha which is a fungal disease and causes brown spots to appear on the leaves - which then turn into small holes. It could also be caused by one of the winter caterpillars which have been troublesome this year, but of the two the symptoms suggest Shot Hole Disease - which quite frequently happens during a very hot/dry period. Regarding treatment you will need to build up your Dwarf Cherry by feeding with a balanced base fertiliser - this needs to be carried out early spring time and also during the summer. Regarding your Dwarf Cherry looking spindly it could be shortage of nutrients and also growing in a shaded spot.

BBC - Lancashire - Nature - Ask the gardener: Cherry trees

I have a two year old cherry tree which is pinned to my garage wall. The first year the tree fruited and looked healthy. This year the branches dont have any leaves until about half way up and any leaves that have appeared are badly damaged or eaten, also there has been no fruit. What is wrong with it and why is it dying? Bill replies...It’s all to do with light. It does us humans good to be in the sunshine, and the same applies to fruit trees, in the sense that they need good light throughout. If the trees have been left to themselves and have produced masses of shoots all round, virtually a solid mass of growth that creates darkness inside the canopy of the tree, then the leaves are no longer able to carry out the functions they were designed for. Photosynthesis goes into survival mode: the little energy that the shaded leaves manage to produce is used simply to keep the structure alive. There is no energy left to create productive fruiting wood as a replacement for older non-productive branches.

My cherry tree is eaten alive every year after the flowers fall. What can I do to stop it? Bill replies... Often we hear the comment, “I have an old pear tree and an apple tree, but neither seem to do any good.” Let’s compare a tree to ourselves. If we don’t take care of ourselves and never go outside if and when we can, we gradually accumulate all sorts of problems too. You may say, what has that got to do with my fruit trees? Surely they are outside all the time?You will need to use a slow release balanced fertiliser Vasanthi and one of the popular brand products is Vitax Q4 which contains trace elements as well as the main nutrients. For more information on Vitax Q4 log onto www.vitax.co.uk You can also use Grow More which is also widely used or Fish Blood and Bone Meal. On no account try to remodel the tree all in one year. Old fruit trees do best when you bring on improvements gradually. In my experience an old tree reacts very favourably if 4 or 5 large branches are taken out rather than lots of little snips here and there.
