Cherry blossom tree growing

4 years ago

Hi, im trying to grow a cherry blossom tree. it is just over a year old and doesn’t appear to be growing. I know its alive as it blossoms leaves and flowers. ive put mircale grow around it. i thought maybe a fox was eating the bark as the base is very thin. therefore, i have now put some mesh around the base. however however that is very tight and im worries it might damage the bark. any tips received would be much appreciated.

Where are you located, what kind of a cherry and any chance of pix? If a fox was near it perhaps a rabbit was there before that.

Have you seen signs of something chewing on the base? Is bark missing? I don't think it's a good idea to wrap anything tightly around the base.

Yes, a picture would be very helpful. I'm not sure what you're referring to as a cherry blossom tree . Is this an outdoor tree? House plant?

What kind of "mesh" are you talking about?
