Sweet Cherry – Dying
Q: I know, I know, sweet cherry trees aren’t supposed to do well in the South, and this tree is no exception.
It is planted in Cobb County, and is experiencing branch die-off.
The entire tree also rocks indicating a poor root system.
Do these growths appear when the tree is in the final stages of its life? Say the word and this tree is gone!
A: It’s chainsaw time!
The fungal growths indicate extensive rot under the bark.
Sweet cherry rarely produces fruit in the South. Even the sour cherries have a hard time in Georgia except in the mountains.
