Dieing Twigs On Nanking Cherry Bushes

Question

I have 3 beautiful nanking cherry bushes. They blossomed vigorously and when I checked for fruit I found that there were a significant number of dead twigs.

Answer 1

Nanking cherries are not usually bothered by pests and disease, so at this point, I would just prune out the dead wood. If you see any other worrisome symptoms check these articles for possible problems:
