We poured one of those weed and feed solutions onto the tree,

==>> what does that mean ...

and is that landscape fabric or plastic???

your pix are loading very slow.. but if i click on them.. they show up ... in case anyone else is having that issue ...

if it looks like that in august.. im thinking its basically dead ... sorry ,... there isnt much to do .... beyond removal and replacement.. without the fabric/plastic ...

ken

Sorry, I should've clarified. This is what we poured on there:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bayer-Advanced-32-oz-Concentrate-3-in-1-Insect-Disease-and-Mite-Control-701285/202019105

That is landscape fabric you're seeing. We lifted it up and removed the mulch in order to pour the Bayer 3-in-1 Insect, Disease and Mite Control.

That's a terrible shame if there's nothing we can do. It just turned like this, BTW -- it had green leaves just even two weeks ago.

Oh, dear. Did you pour the neat product onto the root area? It's designed to be heavily diluted in water and used in a spray on the foliage. The instructions are on the container. And you chose a product without identifying the problem. So I'm afraid you have probably made matters worse for your poor tree. It is vital to first diagnose the trouble and then use the appropriate product in the appropriate dose by the appropriate delivery method. Just like treating people.

Can you excavate a bit and see if the roots are rotting or the soil is waterlogged?

Another possibility is a bacterial infection described at This link

We did dilute it big time...a couple of gallons, and we poured it around the base of the tree. So we followed the directions, but you are right, we did this without really figuring out the issue. I'll dig around the root and write back what I find...thank you!

What has your weather been like this summer?

Good you diluted it. But it's meant to be sprayed on the top growth.

I actually pasted the wrong url. Should be this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bayer-Advanced-32-oz-Concentrate-Tree-and-Shrub-Protect-with-Feed-701810A/202616493

The weather this summer has been fine...got hot here and there, but we had plenty of rain...never had any drought conditions.

Linking to the wrong product explains the confusion.

Remove and replace with something other than a fruit tree. No plastic/landscape fabric should be used.

It should be unnecessary to point out that a weeping cherry is not technically a "fruit tree" despite the common name :-)

"It should be unnecessary to point out that a weeping cherry is not technically a "fruit tree" despite the common name :-)"

Well, yes, because it doesn't produce edible fruit. I should've been more specific. Since it is a prunus (likely a cultivar of prunus x subhirtella) it is a cherry/stone fruit, meaning it is in the rosaceae family. Most plants in the rosaceae family are disease and pest-prone (some more than others). This family includes fruit trees (even ornamentals) including cherries (prunus), plums, peaches, pears (pyrus), apples (malus), roses (rosa), and I believe there are a number of other ornamental and fruiting plants that I did not list. In other words, do not plant another rosaceae tree in place of this one, because there could be pathogens in the soil, and some left in the area from plant debris (leaves, twigs, etc.).

The above is really not of much of a concern. The Rosaceae is a huge plant family with more than 90 different genera and by no means are they all subject to the same pathogens or insect problems so lumping them all together as problematic or to be avoided is just plain silly. As well, many of the genera that are prone to disease issues have had cultivars bred to be very disease resistant. This is especially true of many of the fruiting plants included in this family.

It looks like you could have Fire Blight, which is a bacterial infection and is very hard to get rid of if not caught and pruned out in the early stages and is nearly impossible to stop. It presents with dying portions of the tree, brown areas, curled, hooked dry leaves & oozing blisters with sap-like material on the bark. Look into it and see if it matches your situation.

We have it in a crab apple and sadly will have to remove it as the blight bacteria have spread throughout the tree and also killed our roses. Beware of companies that claim to be able to spray the tree, it doesn't work and you'll be out the money. It's a real shame, I wish you the best!

Mine is not this bad but is getting there. Suggestions?

Did anyone end up saving their tree? Have the same issue with mine

I think it could be cherry borers. Check the bark a few feet off the ground , look for rot or sap leaking from holes. If early, I am hoping a systemic insecticide will save my tree.
