cherry tree leaves drying out #479153
Asked August 18, 2018, 1:50 PM EDT
I have a cherry tree whose leaves are drying out and shriveling. I live in San Jose , California. We've had this tree for past 10 years. Earlier this year, this tree yielded lot of fruit, but most of them had small white worms in them. Not sure if this drying of leaves is related. I am attaching a picture of the leaf and the tree. Pl. let me know if there's anything I can do to treat the tree.

Thank you for your question. There are so many possibilities, since, as the following article indicates, cherry trees are some of the most difficult to keep alive: http://homeorchard.ucanr.edu/Fruits_&_Nuts/Cherries/
I would recommend that you take some leaves and your photos, as well as some of the entire tree, and visit your county Extension office. There are simply too many variables and possible tests to give you a conclusive answer. Here is your county Extension office's contact information: http://cesantaclara.ucanr.edu/Programs/contact/
Good luck!
