Help – I sprayed my weeping cherry tree with cutter backwoods – is it a lost cause?

You will have to treat this as if it were sprayed with a pesticide. This article will help you begin to correct the problem, although it is common for a tree to die when this happens: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/herbicide-plant-damage.htm ^[1]
