I have a couple of small rooted Kojo No Mai Cherry cuttings that have been doing fine until about a month or so ago. They blossomed in the spring, put out lots of new growth and leaves, everything seemed to be fine.
Then in late June, when all the leaves started to get a little brown on the tips and edges, in some cases this continued until the entire leaf was brown/crispy and in some cases they leaves turned yellow. The leaves then drop. I have a few in small training pots that are now almost fully defoliated and others in pond baskets that still have a good amount of leaves left. All have lots of new buds and some are even starting to pop. See pics. Watering is good, well draining substrates etc. I had these in dappled sunlight along with my maples and we haven't had that hot or wet of a summer here.
I have searched this site and the internet and haven't found very much at all on Flowering Cherry trees as Bonsai. The only related item I found mentioned possible salt / sodium / mineral issues. Here's that link for reference...http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=71612
Help. I love cherry blossoms and would hate to lose these.
Any suggestions, thoughts, direction and heck even sarcastic comments are welcomed.
I'll sit here with some Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beers while I await your responses..THANKS B'nutters
