Help my Cherry trees

Michaela K · 1st June 2009, 11:36 PM

Hi, when we bought our old French property we were really pleased to find that we had many established trees. I have a prob with the two cherry trees. They are big, old & I think in need of some major TLC.

I know they have pinkish red sweet fruit, but I have no idea of the variety.

From studying the pic's in my fruit expert book I think the trees are sufferring with shot hole or bacterial canker the book says the brown specs are paler around the edges, however mine are paler in the centre.

I really want to bring these trees back to top condition.

I hope you can give me some help to do this. By the way I cannot afford for a qualified tree doctor to come & help.

Many thanks.

Hi Michaela,

You will need to put some pictures of the poorly trees on here before anyone can give you some advice
