    Usually by the time you have this issue on the trunk the disease has progressed in the tree.
    There is no treatment but you can try bacericide products containing fixed copper.
    You could also have the tree looked at by an professional arborist.

    Best of luck.

    There are many different types of Weeping Cherry cultivators.

    Cherries are among many fruit trees that have poisonous parts.
    Most fruit trees contain cyanogenic glycosides, a substance that causes cyanide poisoning.

    Cherry Trees have trace amounts of cyanide in the seeds, stems, flowers and leaves.

    You are correct about pruning now--this is not the time. Prune in late winter and remove the three ā€œDā€™sā€: dead, diseased or dying. While it will grow back, the blooming may be inhibited as a result of improper pruning but over time this can be fixed.

    You can cut those roots and hope that it does not destroy the tree (depending on how much water/nutrients the tree gets from these roots) but eventually, you are going to have to choose between the tree and the slab/foundation of your house. Also, if you do cut away the roots, you might have to trim the top portion of the tree too bring it back into balance and lessen the stress on the tree.

    A previous pruning may have removed the weeping branches of the plant. The weeping comes from grafts and once the grafted weeping branches are damaged or pruned back to severely, the natural upright branches return. Those that have yet to be pruned may be in need of pruning to get it to start 'weeping' downward.

    Just trim away the suckers that are growing. Do this as soon as you see them.
