Red Dots on a cherry tree #325508

Asked May 26, 2016, 5:07 PM EDT

I have a beautiful Cherry Tree that seems to be having some issues. The tree is dropping small yellow leaves. All help appreciated. P.S. I did leave a branch from the tree a month ago but never heard back?

Cherry leaf spot is a fungal disease that is very common.  If an entire tree is defoliated, it can weaken the tree, but that does not appear to be happening in your tree's case.  The fungus overwinters on fallen leaves and good control can be achieved by thoroughly removing all fallen cherry leaves from the vicinity in the fall.
