Young Sunburst’ Cherry Tree Die Back On Lower Branches.
Sunburst’Cherry tree die back on lower branches – The die back can often lead to a disease on older trees,but in the case of younger trees its often that they are struggling to become established often because of a poor root system or being planted in an exposed position.The solution is in the spring to give the young trees a good feed of general fertilizer such as growmore and then as the shoots emerge start a program of liquid feeding ideally with a feed full of potash such as a liquid tomato feed.In the first two seasons its a good idea to remove the fruits at an early stage so the tree puts its efforts into establishing itself.
