I have a 20 foot White blossom Kwanzan Cherry tree in my back yard. I also have two slightly smaller pink blossom ones. Recently the leaves have started to turn brown and yellow and fall off. I don't want to loose these gorgeous trees. Can you tell me what might be wrong with them? I thought it might be the heat. It has gotten around 95 to 100 degrees here in Utah lately. They get watered every day. Any info. would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
LaDeane

One of my 3 Kwanzaa cherry trees is experiencing the same issue. The leaves started to wilt and dry out this week. Anyone know what's going on with them or how to fix it? Sane issue as Nora below

My tree flowered for a day or two this spring -- warm March and cold thereafter until May -- now it looks like its dying. Anyone up northeast experience this?

My Kwanzan flowering cherry tree got waterlogged last Spring so I moved it. I was advised not to fertilize just let it be as it was probably in shock. Now we are almost in Spring 2016 and there are no buds, nothing, but the trunk is wick while many branches appear dead. Can this tree be saved? Any advice would be very appreciated. It was a Mother's Day gift to me.

I have (had)a beautiful Kwanza cherry tree until last summer when some type of bug destroyed the leaves before I noticed it. It is sad looking now. I want to know if it could be cut back this fall and would come back looking beautiful next spring. What do you suggest?

Hi I brought this tree and planted it in an area where there is sun for at least 6 hrs and then there is shade I also have been watering it everyday for 5 mins. We also put peet moss in the ground when we planted the tree. I dont know what is happening to the tree it looks like its dieing. The tree branches are brown and they aren't green like when we first planted it. we planted it in the beginning of June and now its July 19th n its looks like its died. DId i do something wrong? If in fact its died I would replace it w another one but I'm afraid it might die again.

Our Kanzan Cherry has been planted for 1 year and it bloomed this spring. Now two of the lower branches have all turned brown and are dead. We have got 14 inches of rain since the 1st of May. Is that what's killing it? Is there anything we can do to keep it? Thanks

I planted two 7'Kwanzan cherry trees last fall (2014)about 15feet apart. One looks great,bloomed and is now leafing out (End of April 2015). The other one had only a few blooms and those it did have are rotting. It still has buds that have not opened yet but still no leaves. This tree though close to the other gets about 2 less hours of sun in the afternoon.Any ideas?

I have the same problem as Brenda. My tree is about 5-6 years old. It is growing and leaves look great but it never flowers. I did notice about 3 on it today. That's about all it ever does in the spring however. It gets full sun until late evening. I would love some advice on what to do to help it please.

Had (2) of these tree's planted by my lawn-care maintenance crew in 4-13. The tree's were blooming at the time of planting, but have not bloomed since. They are in direct sunlight and in a well drained area. We have irrigation, so water is not a problem. Should I try a different area of the yard to plant these beautiful tree's and if so what time of the year would be best to have them transplanted. Oh, they have grown each year and offer plenty of foliage during the spring and summer.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Just brought kwanza tree. Scared to death, afraid of callipars and afraid of all the diseases you talk about that will happen to this tree. I
I paid so much for it, now afraid to even plant it. Is there any preventive action I can take to avoid the diseases you mentioned, especially catipplars and aphids. I just brought it, august and very hot .Should I plant it in a pot since it is so hot, and should I fertilize it as soon as planted or put in a pot?
