Q&A - I planted a sweet cherry fruit tree and the leaves are curling. What is going on?
Question:
I planted a sweet cherry fruit tree and the leaves are curling. What is going on?
Answer:
This is probably cherry leaf scorch. Certified Arborist Wes Hopper says you should fertilize the tree in late fall. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says you should rake up and dispose of the leaves in the fall to reduce disease pressure next year.
