Cherry trees are threatened not only by pests and pathogens, but also by weather conditions.
If in May the tree is almost bare, there are very few leaves, then it is time to start saving the plant.
Pests may be the culprit, but this is rare. More often than not, the problem lies elsewhere.
Freezing of buds
The tree becomes "bald" due to weather surprises. Freezing of buds is a fairly common reason, due to which the tree can look almost lifeless even at the end of spring.
Don't rush to cut down the plant. The cherry tree can still be saved, but you'll have to be patient.
How to save a cherry tree
1. In spring, the tree needs to be watered abundantly. Water will play an important role in reviving the cherry after an unsuccessful winter.
2. Nitrogen fertilization will stimulate the growth of green mass. After applying the fertilizer, the buds will awaken and the tree will come to life.
But it should be noted that full recovery will take a long time. In addition, the cherry will no longer be as strong and healthy as before, and the yield may decrease.
