Newcastle NSWQ.weeping cherry not blooming
My weeping Cherry tree is in a large pot in full sun. It is now 3 years old and this year, and for the first time has not flowered. It has gone straight to full leaves. The leaves are quite healthy and a good color. The tree has never been pruned and receives reasonably regular fertilizer.

Plymouth, MA (02360)Q.pruning weeping cherry
We have a 10 yr. old Weeping Yoshino Cherry tree (never pruned). It has grown more outward than weeping downward, and is nowhere near the ground. One long branch has grown upward and outward with another branch growing downward from it. Can we prune the upward portion of the branch (4' long) completely off, just leaving the secondary branch? Should we wait until after spring bloom?

October 27, 2015A.You can prune a Weeping Cherry in late fall or early spring. Make sure the tree is dormant before pruning.
You need to determine if the tree is a natural Weeping Cherry or a grafted tree. It is most likely grafted.
Here is a link that will help you.

Maryland zone 7Q.Weeping cherry dying
We have a weeping cherry in the middle of each of four boxwood beds and have had to replace them every few years. They grow well, then the bark begins to split and weep. We think it's due to borers and spray every spring but the problem continues.

November 5, 2015A.This is a common tendency for Cherry Trees. It is called gummosis.
It is not a threatening problem.
If the bark is injured; this can be from weather and temperature changes or an injury to the bark since the bark is thin, it will ooze sap.
The tree can usually heal itself from this damage.
Prolonged wet conditions can be problematic.

Wyndham valeQ.planting weeping cherry in above ground plant box
Can I plant a weeping cherry in an above ground plant box? I brought 2 weeping cherries and they were not taken care of in the garden center. We have had them in pots for a year now and they haven't flowered yet, but I was wondering can I plant them now, and if so, can I do it in an above ground plant box?

November 10, 2015A.If these are Dwarf varieties or cultivators that stay smaller 12 to 15 feet tall, you can plant into large patio pots.

3677Q.Dying weeping cherry
Planted a weeping cherry about 4 weeks ago. It started to die, as it was too wet. We dug it out and took the water out of the hole and replaced it with dry soil. Then replanted it. What should we do to save it, or will it die?

You can remove or prune the diseased branches during the dormant winter period.
