Q&A – I have an ornamental cherry tree with tiny holes in the leaves. What should I do?

Question:
I have an ornamental cherry tree with tiny holes in the leaves. What should I do?

Answer:
This is probably shot hole but Certified Arborist Wes Hopper says it may also be discula anthracnose. He recommends watering the tree especially in the heat of summer. Extension Agent Chris Cooper recommends picking up the fallen leaves to reduce the amount of fungus. Wes gives some other suggestions for keeping your cherry tree healthy.
