Help! My ornamental trees look like they're dying.

Question

I have two young Cherries and a young (5 years old) Willow tree. For some reason, this year they've only 1/4 the leaves they had last year and one of the Cherries leaves are turning yellow. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

It's either over watering or a soil deficiency.Ask your local garden center for advice.

Answer 2

It sounds like a possibility they are getting to much water. Have you had heavy rains, are they holding the water from mulch.

I don't know what your weather is like. If you think you have had little rain, it could be the opposite problem.  

Mulch helps hold the water in. And helps hold the weeds down.

They also may need a touch of fertilizer.
