Why felt cherry dries. Cherry dries: what to do, how to save? Causes of drying of leaves and branches of cherries: help a dying stone tree Why leaves on cherries dry in June

Cherry (Prunus subg. Cerasus)- a subgenus of plants of the genus Plum of the Pink family. The name "cherry" is consonant with the German Weichsel (cherry) and the Latin viscum (bird glue), based on which the meaning of the word "cherry" can be perceived as "bird cherries with sticky juice." The ancient Romans called these fruits "cerasi" after the city of Kerasunda, which became famous for its delicious sweet cherries, or "bird cherries". From the Latin word cerasi came Italian, French, German and English title cherries. From him came Russian word The "cherry" by which the oldest of the species is named is the same bird cherry, or sweet cherry, the cultivation of which began at least five thousand years ago. Cherry is common in Asia, Europe and the North of the United States. IN industrial scale Most cherries are grown in Iran and Turkey. In our country, cherry has been common since time immemorial. There are many cultivated types of cherries: felt cherries, sand cherries, or dwarf cherries, ferruginous cherries, shrub cherries, or steppe cherries, as well as common cherries cultivated in our region everywhere. Various varieties common cherries grow in every private garden, and even in plantings along roads. The most famous among them are on everyone's lips - Cherry Shpanka, Shokoladnitsa, Chernokorka and others. Cherries are eaten in fresh, used to make wines, liqueurs and liqueurs, preserves and jams, dried and preserved as a preparation for pies, pies and dumplings. Despite the fact that the cherry in our area grows at every turn, its popularity among gardeners is still high, moreover, proper planting and care of cherries can ensure you bountiful harvest delicious quality berries for many years.

Cherry tree - description

Cherry is a deciduous tree or shrub 3-4 meters high with oblong, oval, pointed, serrated or serrate leaves, dark green on top and lighter on the underside of the plate. The length of the leaves is 5-7 cm, the width is up to five cm, the leaves are arranged on the branches in the next order. White or pink flowers cherries have a pleasant smell and form umbellate inflorescences. The fruits are juicy drupes of red or black color with one seed, which have valuable nutritional qualities. Common cherry is a relative of such stone fruits as sakura, plum, apricot, bird cherry and. Actually, there are suggestions that it was from the crossing of sweet cherries, or bird cherries, with steppe cherries that the common cherry species occurred. Today, the species has about 150 varieties. Common cherry is frost-resistant, drought-resistant and unpretentious. Fruiting begins at the age of 3-4 years.

Cherry dries

There is no definite answer to the question “why the cherry dries”. This phenomenon has several reasons. One of them is the warming of the root neck of a cherry tree due to the fact that it was too deep underground. The fact is that when watering a tree, water falls precisely on the neck buried in the ground, from which it rots, and one day you suddenly find that the cherry has dried up. It will no longer be possible to save a drying tree, but such a development of events can be prevented if the tree is watered not under the trunk, but along the furrows laid along the periphery of the trunk circle. Another reason that the leaves and branches of cherries gradually dry is the defeat of the tree. bark beetle. Take a closer look, and if you find small round holes on the branches covered with gum, immediately cut and burn those branches and shoots that are especially heavily covered with gum. And then draw a solution of Bi-58 into the syringe and inject it into each hole you find on the branches and trunk. A young cherry can recover, its wounds will quickly heal, but it is better to remove an old, weakened tree from the site. The third and, unfortunately, the most common reason that the cherry dries up is the disease moniliosis, and we will talk about it in the next section.

Cherry moniliosis

Sometimes suddenly in the middle of a normally started growing season, it turns out that the cherry has withered after flowering. Why do cherries dry up after all, yesterday nothing foreshadowed such trouble? This is due to the dangerous fungal disease cherry moniliosis, or monilial burn, from which the branches of the cherry dry, and the whole tree may die. Young leaves, flowers, ovaries, tops of shoots dry up, and the branches look like after a fire - these are the first symptoms of the disease, reminiscent of the result of fire or frost. Then small growths appear on the bark gray color, rot and fall cherry fruits, covered with randomly located formations of gray color - gray rot. The branches become covered with cracks, gum protrudes on them, forming influxes, and they die. Trim off dry parts of the branches, grabbing healthy tissue, collect and destroy any affected fruit, and treat the tree with oleocuprite, captan, cuprosan, or another fungicide. Spraying cherries with Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride at a time when leaves have already blossomed on cherries can burn them. To defeat moniliosis, you will need more than one treatment of cherries with fungicides, but if you do not wait for the cherry to get sick, but carry out preventive treatments garden trees from diseases and pests, then you don’t have to worry about the health of the trees and the quality of the crop.

Cherry turns yellow

Why do cherries turn yellow? This symptom can be observed when there is a lack of nitrogen or boron in the soil, with the difference that with a lack of boron, cherry leaves not only turn yellow, starting from the upper young shoots, they are deformed, and the veins on sheet plate blush. Trees suffering from nitrogen deficiency begin to turn yellow from the lower shoots, their leaves become smaller and sometimes fall off. Read about how, when and how to feed cherries so that they do not lack nutrition, read in the corresponding section of the article. Cherry leaves turn yellow and from moniliosis, simultaneously with the drying of the branches. In the same way, the fungal disease coccomycosis manifests itself, which must be disposed of in the same ways as from moniliosis. Sometimes cause yellow leaves ants become, and if there is an anthill in your garden, then get ready for big trouble. Leaves turn yellow and improper watering, and because the cherry froze over in winter. Sometimes mushrooms or tinder fungi grow on the lower part of the cherry trunk, which will surely lead to the death of the tree if they are not dealt with.

Cherry falls

Why does the cherry fall if it's summer outside? This usually follows the yellowing of the leaves and is the development of a disease process that was not detected in time. Analyze and determine what caused it - moniliosis, coccomycosis or some other disease, lack of nutrition, moisture, pest attack or damage to cherry roots.

Cherries don't bear fruit

Why cherry does not bear fruit, and what is needed for its normal fruiting? Most of cultivars of sour cherries produce ovaries only when pollen from other cultivars of the same species is transferred to their flowers. Such varieties are called cross-pollinated. But the presence of a cherry tree of a different variety at a distance of no more than 25 meters is not the only condition for good fruiting. It is important that both trees bloom at the same time, because cherry pollen is only capable of pollinating for five days. Very much in the process of pollination depends on the weather, and at this time of the year in middle lane frosts are just frequent, from which, if the temperature drops to 1 ºC, the cherry ovary dies, and for the death of flowers and buds, it is enough to lower the temperature to 4 ºC. Factors that negatively affect the pollination process, such as strong wind, fogs, damage to flowers by pests. In our time, when due to the use of pesticides along with harmful insects Insect pollinators also die en masse, it is very important to attract bees to the garden during cherry blossoms. This can be done by spraying the cherry with a solution of 15-10 g of sugar or a tablespoon of honey in a liter of water.

Cherry grows poorly and bears fruit on acidic soils, therefore, regular additions to the soil of alkaline components - lime and dolomite flour are required.

Cherry crumbles

Why do cherries crumble? It happens that cherries bloom, but do not bear fruit, shedding their ovaries. Even if a lot of ovary has formed, the tree discards it, leaving only 5-7% - as much as it can grow, and this is considered a normal crop. But sometimes the tree sheds the entire ovary because it itself lacks nutrition. In that case, run foliar top dressing, adding epin to fertilizers, and do not forget to water the cherry if it has not rained for a long time. Fertilize the soil around the cherry, keep the tree healthy, and then you can count on a harvest next summer.

Cherry does not bloom

Why won't cherry blossoms? Cherry is a fast-growing crop, however, cherry fruiting in the second and even third year is an infrequent occurrence, so be patient and let the tree gain strength and mature. Cherry does not bloom even if the root neck of the tree is buried in the soil or, conversely, is bare. Remember: the root collar of the cherry tree should be at the level of the surface. If the cherry has already fruited and suddenly did not bloom at the right time, the reason may be the freezing of flower buds in non-cold-resistant cherry varieties in a frosty winter. Or you may have overfed the tree with nitrates. What to do if the cherry does not bloom? Water cherries generously in the heat, but do not cold water, mulch trunk circle humus, mowed grass or compost, feed the cherry with phosphates, treat the tree several times with Ovary or Bud preparations. Maybe it makes sense to “scare” the tree by inflicting several microtraumas on its trunk. Just do not forget to treat them with garden pitch afterwards. next in early spring remove the basal shoots of the cherry and cut down several large branches, processing the cuts blue vitriol, and then smeared with garden pitch. It is very possible that after such manipulations the cherry will bloom.

cherry withers

Causes: moniliosis, scale insect attack, proximity to apricot. We told you how to deal with a fungal disease, scale insects are destroyed by Actellik, Bankol, Mospilan in accordance with the instructions, and how to plant cherries with apricots, decide for yourself.

Other cherry diseases

In addition to moniliosis and coccomycosis, there are other cherry diseases that can lead to the death of not only the crop, but also the tree itself. For example, the so-called "witch's broom" is a fungus that makes cherry leaves turn pale or acquire a reddish tint, become smaller, become brittle, wrinkled, and wavy at the edges. The branches affected by the fungus are cut out, and the tree is treated with a solution of copper sulphate at the rate of 75 g per 10 liters of water or iron vitriol by dissolving half a kilogram of the chemical in the same amount of water. If necessary, repeat the treatment after two weeks. Do not confuse this disease with the growth - a phytoplasmic disease with the same common name "witch's broom", but for which, unfortunately, there is no cure.

cherry spotting

Cherries are affected by brown and perforated spotting. The latter is also called clasterosporiasis. Both spots appear as brown, light brown or yellowish spots with a dark or reddish border on the leaves, over time, black dots of fungal spores appear on these spots, then the leaf tissue in the center of the spots crumbles, holes form, and the affected leaves dry and fall off. On the fruits of a tree infected with clasterosporiasis, small, depressed purple spots appear, increasing to 3 mm in diameter and turning into brown warts. At the site of the lesion, the pulp dries out and grows to the bone. Gum flows out of cracking spots on the branches, the flowers fall off, and the buds affected by perforated spotting die, turn black and look like they are varnished. Remove the affected branches, clean the wounds to healthy tissue and treat them for disinfection with a one percent solution of copper sulphate, rub the cuts three times with an interval of 10 minutes with freshly picked sorrel leaves and cover with garden pitch. The tree and the soil of the near-stem circle are treated four times a season with Bordeaux liquid: the first time - before bud break, the second - immediately after flowering, the third - two to three weeks after the second treatment and the last time no later than three weeks before harvesting.

Mushrooms on cherry

Sometimes mushrooms - mushrooms or tinder fungus - germinate into the body of the trunk at the bottom of the tree and cause white rot wood. The fungus must be removed, the wound cleaned, treated with 3% copper sulphate, and covered with garden pitch. Try to cut the mushroom no later than July, when it has already formed a fruiting body, but the spores have not yet matured. You can protect the cherry from the germination of mushrooms by covering its trunk and skeletal branches with lime after wintering and feeding the tree with fertilizers.

Fruit rot and cherry scab

Quickly spreading brown rotting spots on the surface of the fruit are fruit rot. As the disease progresses, white growths appear on the berries, diverging in concentric circles. Remove the affected berries and treat the tree with Zircon. In the future, treat against fruit rot, as well as against scab, which also sometimes affects cherries. It manifests itself as velvety olive-brown spots on the leaves and cracks on mature fruits. Prevention against scab- spraying cherries and the near-stem circle with nitrafen until the buds open. Treatment - three to four times the treatment of the tree with one percent Bordeaux liquid or another fungicide. The first - at the time of opening the leaves, the second - three weeks after the first, the third - after harvesting and the last, if necessary, after another two weeks.

cherry anthracnose

Increasingly, anthracnose began to affect cherry trees - also fungal disease, the symptoms of which are the appearance of dull spots on the berries, turning into dark tubercles that form a pink coating on the fruits. As a result of the development of the disease, cherry berries become mummified. Anthracnose is especially dangerous in wet summers - up to 80% of the berry crop can die from it. The best remedy from anthracnose - triple treatment of the tree with a solution of polyram (20 g of the drug per 10 liters of water). The first spraying is carried out before flowering, the second - immediately after flowering, the third - two weeks after the second treatment.

Cherry pests and their control

Aphids on cherry

Aphids sometimes attack cherry trees, and cherry seedlings are especially affected. Small aphid larvae appearing on leaves and shoots in early spring form entire colonies, and their flying female settlers carry aphids throughout the garden. How to deal with aphids on cherries? At the time of the appearance of the larvae, before bud break and at an air temperature of at least 5 ºC, cherries are sprayed with nitrafen or oleocuprite, and a little later, but before flowering, they are treated with karbofos, metaphos or phosphamide. During the summer, if necessary, insecticide treatment can be repeated.

Worms in a cherry

How insulting it is for a gardener when the long-awaited harvest is hopelessly spoiled - wormy cherries are far from good for everything. Where do the worms in cherries come from? The cherry fly is to blame - a tiny pest that spends the winter in a cocoon in top layer soil, and as soon as it becomes warm, the fly flies out and feeds on aphids and the juice of cherry fruits, laying eggs in them. The fly larvae that develop within two to three weeks eat the pulp of the fruit, making passages around the stone, then crawl out of the cherries, fall to the ground and build a cocoon around themselves in anticipation of wintering, and the fruits affected by them rot and crumble. Early varieties cherry fly infects cherries much less frequently than mid-ripening and late ones. Treatment with insecticides (Spark, Aktara, Lightning) against the cherry fly is carried out twice: the first - when the earth warms up and the air temperature rises above 18 ºC, and the flies massively begin to fly out of the ground. Focus on flowering acacia. Repeat the treatment 10-15 days after the first, but no later than two weeks before the fruit ripens.

Ringed silkworm on cherry

If you notice a web on the cherry branches, then you are dealing with a ringed silkworm - a night butterfly beige colour with a dark stripe on the upper wings, a dark gray hairy caterpillar of which up to 6 cm long feeds on buds and cherry leaves, weaving cobweb nests in the fork of the branches - this is where the cobweb on the cherry comes from. Caterpillars live in colonies, pupating in rolled leaves. Remove found eggs in cloudy weather by hand and burn them, in spring, before flowering, treat cherries with karbofos, metaphos, chlorophos, ash or similar insecticide. Treating a tree before bud break with nitrafen or oleocuprite also gives a good result.

Other insect pests of cherries

Unfortunately, cherries have many enemies in the insect world. Pests of cherries are almost the same as those of plums and cherries, and this makes it easier for gardeners to fight insects. So, in addition to those pests that we have already told you about, cherries are affected by: brown fruit mites, cherry shoots, fruit striped and fruit moths, cherry, yellow plum and slimy sawflies, cherry and pear tubers, sapwood, western unpaired bark beetle, winter moth , downy and gypsy moths, red apple mite, mining moth, moth peeled off, subbark leafworm and apple glass case. However, if you endure in your garden high level agricultural technicians, monitor the health of trees and do not neglect preventive work, you may never know what these insects look like.

How to protect cherries from birds

What a shame it is if the long-awaited, lovingly grown cherry harvest goes not to you, but to the birds that mercilessly spoil the fruits of cherries. To prevent this from happening, hang shiny rustling objects on the trees - foil, New Year's "rain", etc. This should scare away the birds. If they continue to pick cherries, cover the trees with a covering material, preferably transparent, and secure it with clothespins or other clips. After harvesting, the film can be removed. And leave some berries for the birds.

How to process cherries - prevention

When and how to spray cherries

The first spring preventive treatment of cherries should be carried out before the start of sap flow. Previously, cherry pruning is carried out, the sections are treated with a one-percent solution of copper sulphate, followed by covering large wounds with garden pitch. Do not forget to whitewash the trunks and skeletal branches with lime. Then dissolve 700 g of urea in ten liters of water and spray the cherries and tree trunks around the trunks. Urea will protect the trees from pests wintering in their bark and in the soil of the near-stem circle, destroy pathogens of fungal and infectious diseases, and also supply cherries with nitrogen necessary for the development of green mass. If you are late, and the buds on the cherry have already begun to swell, urea can cause them to burn, so instead treat the trees with nitrafen, fitaverm, acarin, agravertin, or another drug of a similar effect. At the same time, treat cherries with Zircon or Ecoberin to increase their resistance to disease and weather disasters.

In autumn, after the leaves fall, carry out sanitary pruning of branches, followed by treatment of cuts, wounds and cracks with copper sulfate, and then with garden pitch. Everything plant remains collect and burn together with fallen leaves. After the first frost, treat the cherry and soil under the crown with a five percent solution of urea.

Processing cherries from diseases

At the beginning of budding, cherries are treated for moniliosis, coccomycosis and clasterosporiasis with a suspension of copper oxychloride at the rate of 35 g per 10 liters of water or a one percent solution of Bordeaux mixture. Immediately after flowering, re-treat the cherries with fungicides (Bordeaux mixture or copper oxychloride) from fungal diseases. If you are late and the leaves are already starting to open, instead of these chemicals that cause leaf burns, use other drugs - cuprosan, phthalan, captan. The third treatment of cherries with Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride is carried out three weeks before harvesting, and the fourth after it.

Processing cherries from pests

After the first spring treatment of cherries with urea from insects wintering in the bark and in the soil, which is carried out before bud break, the second one follows, carried out during the budding period. It can be combined with spraying cherries from diseases by adding 80 g of karbofos or 60 g of benzophosphate to a solution of copper oxychloride. Immediately after flowering, the trees are sprayed against sawflies with a solution of benzophosphate (60 g per 10 l of water) or karbofos (80 g per 10 l of water). Three weeks before the fruit ripens, treat the cherries with a solution of karbofos or another similar preparation against the codling moth. After harvesting, spray the cherries again with karbofos, benzophosphate, permethrin, or another chemical of a similar effect.

Top dressing cherries

How to feed cherries

First spring processing cherries and near-stem circle with urea - complex. It is both protection against pests and diseases, and top dressing with nitrates at the same time. During flowering, you can fertilize the cherry liquid chicken manure, however, this is not required. After flowering, manure is introduced into the trunk circle for digging or in the form of a solution. You can also use dry nutrient organic mixtures in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If there is no rain during this period, then it is better to carry out liquid top dressing.

In summer, foliar spraying of cherries with nitrogen-containing preparations is carried out two or three times: the first - in mid-July, and then no earlier than three weeks later. If you find that the cherry is deficient in any element, foliar with a preparation containing it. After fruiting, fertilize the trunk circle with compost, rotted manure or other organic matter.

Autumn dressing should include mineral compositions calcium, potassium and phosphorus. In the same period, liming of insufficiently acidic soil is carried out. After the first frosts, add potassium-phosphorus fertilizers to the trunk circle for digging to a depth of 8 cm.

How to get rid of cherries

How to deal with cherries

New modern varieties of cherries do not give shoots, and if you decide to buy seedlings in a store, you should know that cultivars Cherries are divided into three groups:

• own-rooted: these include varieties Vladimirskaya, Shubinka, Apukhtinskaya and others. Trees of these varieties form basal shoots, but offspring retain all varietal differences and are great for replacing an old tree;
• varietal cherries: Malinovka, Molodezhnaya, Rastorguevskaya - form a shoot from wild animals, which is best removed;
• varietal cherries on seed rootstocks: from seedlings of Vladimirskaya and Shubinka, for example, they do not give shoots.

If you do not want to fight with the shoots, when buying seedlings, give preference to the third group - those on seed stocks. But if you already have a tree growing that gives unnecessary shoots, the question arises of how to bring out the cherry, which grows and takes away nutrition from the mother tree. Instead of loosening, use mulching of the near-trunk circle, water the cherry rarely but abundantly, regularly sanitary pruning the tree, remove fallen fruits from under the cherry so that wildlings do not grow from their bones - these measures help reduce the formation of root offspring. Emerging shoots must be removed immediately as they appear, but pruning the aerial part with a pruner is not enough, since buds will remain in the ground, which later form more powerful shoots. Better late autumn or in early spring, dig up coppice shoots from a horizontal cherry root and chop them off with an ax, leaving no stumps, and cover the place of the log house with garden pitch so that nothing else grows from it. You can limit the area of ​​germination of root shoots by digging pieces of slate around the cherry to a depth of half a meter.

Greetings, dear readers and following the news in my blog! I am a huge fan of cherries and have several fruit trees in my garden. I try to properly care for them and prevent the development of the most various diseases, but it happens that a person is powerless before nature and help the perishing stone fruit can not.

But whoever is armed with knowledge has a better chance of winning, which means let's figure out together what to do if the leaves dry on the cherry and what it is connected with.

The content of the article:

Signs of the disease

First of all, it is necessary to exclude such factors as insufficient watering in the hot season and lack of fertilizers. If everything is in order with this, pay attention to when the unpleasant phenomenon began.

If the leaves on the top of the tree and individual branches began to shed their leaves in the spring, and closer to the middle of summer this process accelerated, then your trouble came in the form of a fungal disease - moniliosis. Its pathogen overwinters on dried fruits and infected branches.

The result of his activity is very reminiscent of a burn, so gardeners often do not immediately realize the true state of affairs, believing that winter freezing, abundant use of pesticides or fertilizers are to blame.

Meanwhile, the cherry withers and turns brown, the flowers wither, then the leaves wither and dry. Young shoots look like they have been burned by a fire. The flowering period is most favorable for the penetration of fungal spores into the conductive vessels and further to the tree trunk.

Forms and stages of development

Moniliosis, the detrimental effect of which is similar to the effect of frost or fire, is called monilial burn. It affects flowers and branches, leaves and shoots. Why it happens? Favorable conditions for its development are warm winter and rainy cool spring.

In wet weather, dead areas are affected by ash-gray spore pads. In the future, they increase in size and merge with huge foci. Large skeletal branches are covered with cracks and drops of gum. If the plant is excessively thickened and located in a lowland, then this only aggravates the situation.

The second form is gray rot penetrates into the tissues of the tree through mechanical damage or is applied by insects. Then the already formed berries are covered with small dark spots - sporulation pads. Note that their order is random, unlike common fruit rot, which is easily recognizable by its characteristic concentric circles.

As a result, the affected berries shrivel and turn black, as they say, they become mummified. It is in them that the pathogen hibernates, as well as the tips of the branches, the affected shoots. You can only guess why the leaves on the cherry dry, and the fungus has already penetrated the wood and began to destroy it, as a result of which, after a month, the branch above the site of infection completely dries up.

Look at the cherry cut. If you see dark rings, then this is clear sign moniliosis. In the southern steppe and arid regions, this disease is rare, but in the European part and Western Siberia almost every tree suffers from it.

How to treat?

What to do if the tree is already affected by this disease? First of all, remove all dried branches and ovaries, making the cut 10–15 cm higher than the damage site. Then they must be burned, and then spray the cherry with a solution of some fungicide, choosing a dry sunny day for this and be sure to agree with the neighbors to do this together, because spores are spread by insects, and in this case one will not be a warrior in the field.

For spraying, drugs such as Abiga-Peak, Topsin-M, Cupid are suitable. They are indicated for use during the growing season. Bordeaux mixture"Extra" is used before bud break, and "Zato" is used before and after flowering, maintaining an interval between two procedures of 9-14 days, depending on the size of the berries. This fungicide works only in combination with other drugs.

Disease prevention

First of all, it is necessary to choose varieties that are resistant to this disease for planting. If you live in the southern regions, pay attention to Anadolskaya, Shpanka, Krasnokutskaya cherries.

Sashenka, Sorceress, Gift of Plenty, Valery Chkalov demonstrate average resistance to the disease. But Griot of Ostheim, Lyubskaya, Vladimirskaya, Zhukovskaya, Lotovka, Chernokorka resist the fungus poorly.

If the cherry dries up after flowering, it is necessary to water and fertilize in a timely manner, thin out the crown, and rejuvenate old trees. If at the landing stage you choose an elevated, well-lit and ventilated place where ground water lie no closer than 1.5 m from the surface.

Aisles must be loosened, all shoots and plant debris removed, as well as old dead bark on skeletal branches and boles. If you find a nest of pests, remove it and burn it.

Larvae of codling moth, cherry fly, weevils are subject to destruction. As soon as all the leaves fall from the tree, the trunk circle must be dug up and treated with a 1-3% solution of Bordeaux mixture. Repeat the treatment immediately after the snow melts.

All this will help you not to face such an unpleasant disease in the future and not to lose your entire crop. I hope my article was useful to you, which means that you recommend it to your friends and acquaintances and contribute to the fight against this disease. After all, bees are common to everyone.)

Leaves on cherries dry up in the midst of flowering - a common problem when growing fruit tree on the garden plot. There are several diseases that affect the leaves on the cherry. What are these diseases and what causes the drying of the leaves on the cherry, you will learn in today's article. Recommendations for their elimination will also be provided.

Why dry leaves on cherries?

The leaves on the cherry dry out for several reasons. One of the most likely, affecting the development of the tree as a whole, is:

• Moniliosis (monial burn);
• damaged roots;
• Mechanical damage to the roots;
• Pests;

Moniliosis on cherries - why do the leaves dry?

Monial burn or moniliosis is a fungal disease of the stone fruit tree of the cherry. The causative agent of the disease is the fungus Monila cinerea, which winters well in the soil, hiding in dried branches.

Prevention of cherry moniliosis: to prevent the awakening of a disease based on a monoclinal fungus, it is necessary to regularly prune, removing dried branches, removing damaged, diseased or infected dead parts of the crown or roots from the site. Also, before planting or transplanting cherries to a new place, the soil can be carefully processed.

How does a monial burn manifest itself:

• The appearance of brown or brown spots on leaves;
• Blackening of flowers;
• Withering of the leaf mass;
• Drying of fruit branches;
• Annual (stiff) shoots acquire a characteristic burntness;

Why do the leaves look like burnt ones? During the reproduction of the fungus, its spores fall on the pistil, germinating and spreading through conductive vessels, stopping the supply of nutrient juices to the necessary part of the crown. How more area lesions, the more intense the disease develops and the faster the cherry dies.

How to deal with moniliosis?

1. Cut off the affected branch, capturing 10 cm of the healthy part.
2. Take it away from garden plantings and burn.
3. If there are fruits, also remove.
4. Control the level of humidity and temperature.
5. Fungicide treatment.

Pests on cherries - why do the leaves dry?

The next reason why the leaves on the cherry dry may be the appearance of pests. Especially often they “wake up” during the growing season, having successfully overwintered in the soil or in the bark of a tree.

Cherry pests:

• codling moth;
• cherry fly;
• Weevil;

How to deal with pests on cherries:

1. Clear the soil of fallen leaves.
2. Carry out the treatment of near-stem circles with a 2% solution of Bordeaux mixture.
3. Use "Fitosporin-M" 20 ml per 10 liters of water during the period of bud coloring and after flowering.
4. Treat with Fitosporin 20 ml per 10 liters of water during flowering, ovary formation and fruit set (up to 2 cm in diameter).

Mechanical damage to the bark and roots of cherries

With mechanical damage to the bark of the trunk and branches, the root system of the cherry, systematic yellowing of the leaves of the crown can be observed, starting from one - lower - row, with a gradual spread throughout its entire volume. To solve the problem damaged areas needs to be processed:

• garden pitch;
• Charcoal;
• Root growth stimulator (for the root system);

During the recovery period, sparing water replenishments and fertilizing based on mineral fertilizers to speed up the healing of damaged areas.

Cherry room?

The root neck warms up when the seedling was planted deep, when watered too often, when the trunk circles were mulched with too thick a layer of manure. It is impossible to cure such a disease - you just need to prevent it. For example, by arranging irrigation not in bowls, but in furrows dug along the periphery of the crown. https://vk.com/wall-52962135?offset=60&own=1&w=wall-52962135_21344​

It happens that the branches are not in a hurry to dry, but are covered with gum. Here it is necessary to pay attention to the bark. Surely there are small round holes on it under the gum. This is a sure sign of the work of the bark beetle. He is already a very big hunter to feed on dying trees and branches. If the tree is old, then you need to think about replacing it.

Why do cherries dry? How to prevent drying of cherries?

A k s i n y a

It happens that cherries begin to dry for a different reason. For example, losing leaves. Early leaf fall is one of the signs of coccomycosis ( dangerous disease stone fruit crops).

The usual picture - in the second half of the summer, branches suddenly begin to fade and dry up near the cherry. You can literally lose the whole tree or part of the crown in a couple of days. The fungus, moniliosis, is to blame for such a rapid death of trees. It affects trees especially strongly in years from mild winter And rainy summer.​

Due to lack of moisture in the soil.

There can be many reasons for the drying of cherries, the most important of which are insufficient watering, over-watering and pests. Eliminate these problems and I think that you will be able to prevent further drying of the cherry.

Here everything is described in detail and clearly visible:

Secondly, moderate watering is needed in hot weather. (Usually we water every day).

The most difficult case is the sudden drying out of the whole tree at once. The reason for this phenomenon is the warming of the root collar. It is already impossible to save such trees, you can only prevent the appearance of this disease. Since the cause of underheating is not proper fit tree, illiterate cultivation or watering, then you just need to adjust the watering, do not cover the trees with too thick a layer of manure and try not to dig the cuttings too deep when planting.

A common picture for many gardeners, when in the second half of summer the branches of the cherry tree begin to dry out and in just two or three days the tree loses a third or even half of its crown. In most cases, the cause is moniliosis - a fungus.

Cherry was transplanted in the spring, it dried up and the leaves fell off.

This is a fungal disease that develops more strongly in rainy summers. Remove old, diseased branches and bushes. Dried fruits. (I read this back in the fall in a book.) Today, too, many people were amazed, and many of them. Summer is like that. In the spring, as soon as the snow melts, spray 2 cups of urea per bucket.

A young tree can still be saved by cutting and burning shoots that are especially abundant in gum. And on the rest, declare a hunt for bark beetle by drawing a solution of Bi-58 into the syringe and injecting it into each hole. If you walk carefully along the branches, then it is quite possible to get rid of this pest, and the trees will quickly heal the wounds left by it.

Shedding foliage is only the first sign, shoots do not ripen, having lost foliage, and freeze out in winter.

Moniliosis is also found on other stone fruits, such as apricots and cherries. But there it begins with the drying of the tops and rarely ends with the death of the whole tree or the entire branch. On the cherry, everything happens much faster and more seriously.

Sometimes the drying of cherries is associated with now very common diseases - monliosis and coccomycosis. These are fungal diseases that can lead to the complete death of stone plants, including cherries. Cherries annually fall ill with coccomycosis and monliosis. With moniliosis, cherry branches completely dry out, the branches seem to be scorched by fire. Therefore, there is a second name for this dangerous disease - monilial burn. Cherry fruits rot, shrivel and often remain hanging in this form until spring.

The first reason why cherries can dry out is the dryness of the soil due to dry, hot weather. In this case, the cherry needs to be watered daily.

And thirdly, there may simply not be enough fertilizer for the root system.

Cherry can dry for various reasons.

WHY DRY CHERRY ❖

Moniliosis is a fungus that mainly affects trees in years with rainy summers and warm winter. Loved trees this fungus, - stone fruits in the form of cherries, apricots and cherries, on the latter, moniliosis spreads the fastest. To save the trees, it is required to cut off all the affected branches 5-10 centimeters from the fungus on the healthy part, then spray the entire tree with Chorus, and after a week repeat the spraying, but with a different drug - Soon. Usually this treatment is enough to ensure that the tree does not die and yields in subsequent years.

Is there a chance that she will come to life, and what needs to be done for this?

Little moisture (rain)

​●Take care of your neck.​
Save trees at the very beginning of leaf fall, treating plantings with Ridomil, Oxyhom, Ordan or other copper-containing preparations. Two or three sprays are enough to avoid many problems.​

To save the tree, it is necessary to cut out all the affected shoots and branches as quickly as possible, capturing 5-10 cm of the healthy part. And the rest - spray Horus. After two weeks, you need to repeat the treatment with Skor. This should be enough so that you do not have to part with the tree.

Last year, a young cherry died from one of these diseases, which was grafted to see an already diseased cherry.

Measures to combat cherry diseases: in the summer, affected cherry leaves, its branches, and fruits are collected and burned. Before and after flowering, cherries are sprayed with chorus (3.5 g per 10 liters of water), and after picking berries, cherry bushes are treated with 1% Bordeaux liquid.
MONILIOSIS is a disease of cherries, it can manifest itself as a leaf burn or fruit rot. In this case, you need to burn the dried branches, spray the tree with Bordeaux liquid with 50-100 grams of soap per 10 liters of water.

My advice to you, take it, just transplant the cherry into another soil, and water it, fertilizers are always welcome.

This is not a favorable soil for tree growth.
It happens that cherries suddenly begin to fall abundantly in the middle of summer leaves. Early leaf fall is a sign of coccomycosis (fungal disease). With this fungus, leaves and fruits are most often affected. First of all, small brown dots appear on the leaves, which grow into large spots, while the lower part of the leaves is covered with a white or pinkish bloom, the tree is rapidly losing foliage. The fruits of this disease are deformed, do not ripen. The causative agent of this fungus overwinters in fallen leaves. It is necessary to treat cherries only at the end of summer, after harvesting. First of all, it is required to collect all the fallen leaves around diseased trees and burn them, while spraying the soil with a solution of urea (400 grams of urea per 10 liters of water). In the spring, it is very important not to miss the "green cone" (bud break) and treat with 3% Bordeaux liquid, and immediately after flowering - 0.1% topsin-M solution or 1% Bordeaux liquid.

Did you transplant your cherry seedling last spring? When did the leaves dry up and fall off, in summer or autumn? Or have you transplanted a seedling now, this spring, and the leaves have fallen off? If you transplanted last year and the cherry dried up in the summer, and now it does not show signs of life (the buds do not swell), try cutting off a cherry branch lower, look at the cut. If the tissue is alive, then your task is to loosen the ground around the tree well and water it. Maybe he'll leave. And if the fabric is dry, dig up the seedling and inspect the roots. They will immediately tell you whether this seedling will live or not. If, nevertheless, the roots are alive, then I would suggest that you cut the roots a little before transplanting to open access to new living cells, and put the seedling itself for 4 hours in a bucket with a solution of camphor alcohol (15 drops of alcohol per 0.5 l . water).​

Cherry - why do the fruits dry up during the ripening period, when they turn red?

Moreover, there is not only not enough moisture in the ground, but also in the air, the last two summers are very hot, so everything dries = (the air is completely "heavy"

​Most bad case when for no reason the whole tree dries up at once. Usually the reason for this is the warming of the root neck. It is impossible to save such trees. We'll have to plant a replacement.

How to revive a dried cherry seedling?

It's a pity to watch how plants die that have not yet had time to please with a big harvest.

Cherry dries

COCOMIOSIS is a disease of cherries and sweet cherries, spraying with Folpan helps.

Perhaps the cherry does not have enough moisture, and because of this, the leaves dry. But if this is not the case, then the reason may be much more serious. Perhaps it is a disease. It is called monliosis or coccomycosis. With such a disease, the cherries completely dry out, the leaves first wither, then turn yellow and fall off completely. Therefore, at the first sign, it is necessary to cut the diseased branches to a healthy place and spray the tree with Bordeaux liquid.

If flowers, leaves and tops of shoots suddenly begin to dry on a cherry, it means that your tree is sick with moniliosis. This is a fungal disease. If measures are not taken to combat it, the cherry will die, and the fungus will move to other trees.

The causative agents of this fungus are carried by wind or insects in the spring, during flowering. Through the pistils of flowers, they penetrate inside - into the wood and destroy it. Damaged wood stops conducting water, which causes not only flowers to dry out, but also leaves and branches.

Favorable conditions for the development of this fungus - high humidity during flowering. Frequent rains in spring also contribute to this. It has been noticed that if the weather was dry during the flowering of the garden, cherries rarely get sick with moniliosis.

Cherries planted in the lowlands, in areas that are not blown by the winds, are susceptible to this disease. Thickened plantings, abandoned gardens, cherry growth - such places are most often affected by moniliosis. The causative agent of the fungus from such neglected gardens is easily carried by the wind to neighboring areas.

Suffer from moniliosis not only cherry trees, but also plums, cherry plums, almonds and other stone fruits.

Signs of moniliosis

The primary symptom of moniliosis is the sudden drying of cherry blossoms. They turn brown, as if they were damaged by frost or fire. Due to the fact that the damaged parts of the tree appear to be burned, this disease is called monilous burn.

After the flowers, the leaves are affected. First, the edges dry out, and then the entire sheet. The difference from other diseases is that the leaves do not fall off after drying, but remain hanging on the branches.

Then the tips of the branches begin to dry out and annual shoots. On a cut of diseased wood, dark rings can be seen. This is confirmation that the cherry is infected with moniliosis.

From the beginning of the action of the fungus to the drying of the entire branch, it usually takes about 30 days. If this disease is not cured, after some time the cherry may die completely.

Manifestation of moniliosis in summer

If the weather was dry in the spring and the spores of the fungi did not awaken from the infected tree, this does not mean that the disease is gone. In summer, during heavy rains and cool weather, the disease can manifest itself in full force.

In the summer, damage to the tree begins with the fruit. First they darken, then spores appear, which are arranged randomly. The berries shrivel, dry out. Just like withered leaves, they remain on the branch.

The second name of moniliosis is gray rot. The difference from fruit rot is in the location of the spores on the berries. With fruit rot, they are in the form of concentric circles; with moniliosis, they are scattered throughout the fruit.

What to do if cherry leaves dry

If the leaves of the cherry began to dry, first of all it is necessary to cut off all diseased branches. They cut off, capturing a healthy part by 15 cm. The causative agents of the fungus, having penetrated into healthy wood, do not immediately manifest themselves. The cut parts of the tree must not be stacked in compost heap they must be burned.

Trees are treated with fungicides containing copper. Spray the entire tree and tree trunks. Be sure to process all stone fruits growing near the diseased tree.

In autumn, all plant debris from under the trees is collected and burned.

Prevention

When laying a cherry orchard, one must take into account the likelihood of disease. It is important to choose the right site for landing:

• the place should be on a hill;
• ground water should not pass higher than 1.5 m from the surface level.

Varieties that are completely protected from moniliosis have not yet been bred. But new, modern cherries are more resistant to infection, subject to growing conditions:

• do not thicken plantings, the distance between the trees should be about three meters;
• timely carry out regulatory pruning, remove shoots;
• prophylactic treatment with copper-containing preparations should be carried out at least twice per season:
• when the buds open;
• when fruits are tied (berries at this moment are the size of a pea);
• spray from pests with insecticides, while it is important to take into account the timing of the collection of fruits;
• in autumn, insect nests should be removed;
• be sure to weed the trunk circle, or regularly mow the grass under the cherries;
• in autumn, fallen leaves are collected and burned;
• dying bark should be stripped in autumn.

If there is an abandoned area with stone fruit trees near your garden, it is advisable to treat it with fungicides as well. This will secure your The Cherry Orchard from pathogens of moniliosis, which are easily transferred from diseased trees to healthy ones.
