Rogue River Southern OregonQ.crown galls
Crown galls are taking over my cherry trees. I cut an enormous wisteria all the way to the ground today. I am very sad about it. How do I get it out of the soil?? I prefer something that won't hurt my dogs. Please help me.

Crown Gall is difficult to treat and most times removing the infected tree is best coarse of action.Here is a link with more information.

UKQ.Container Cherry Tree
I have a flowering cherry tree, only a year or so old. The roots were starting to show in the small pot it was in so I have moved it to a larger pot but only realised near the end of repotting it that I had been putting in top soil! Should I repot it using a different type of soil/compost?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
October 13, 2015A.Top soil may be to compact for the tree. The roots may not be able to breath and take up nutrients.
I would either amend the soil or start over with a good quality potting mix.

Lakewood Wa 98498Q.Cherry tree
I have a 13 year old, 50 ft tall Cherry tree. It has never been pruned. There are 5 large main limbs. Some as big around as 8 to 10 inches in diameter. All the leaves have dropped and it's December and around 35 degrees at night. Is now a good time to cut it and how far down the main shoots can I go? The 8 to 10 inches in diameter is approx half way up and where I want to cut it.

December 16, 2015A.The late autumn and the beginning of winter are the best time to prune your tree. Spring is not recommended because many trees can bleed sap during that period. It's also not recommended to trim the main limbs, unless they are broken, sick and posing a danger. You should aim for the smaller dead branches and the ones which are already broken and dangling around. Young trees are easy to prune and maintain, but your cherry is already old, which makes the matter a little more complicated. Since the pruning would involve climbing on a ladder and making important choices, which will define your tree's health for the next year, I would recommend calling an expert company, which deals particularly with tree services. A licensed professional would be able to give you a guarantee and you can hold them liable if anything goes wrong.

Kellerberrin WA 6410Q.Cherries
I have planted cherry seeds after enjoying eating them at the orchard. All the seeds came up and grew well as a creepers, not a tree plant. As soon as the hot weather came, they died, even with good watering. A week ago, six months after dying, I noticed that they have re-appeared in the pots as creepers again since a summer rain. Why am I not getting cherry trees and getting a wide spreading creeper from the seeds? I was so looking forward to a field of cherries in a few years. Please help. VJW. Kellerberrin WA

February 14, 2016A.Unfortunately the seed that you collect from the tree will not produce a true plant.
Here is a link that will explain the process.

Chuckey, TN 37641 Zone 7aQ.Cherry tree pollination
I just planted a North Star Cherry tree (a self pollinator), and a Van Cherry tree. The Van Cherry tree needs a pollinator. My question is: Will the North Star Cherry tree be able to pollinate my Van Cherry tree or must I plant another Cherry tree that is compatible to the Van? Thank you.
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
April 24, 2016A.North Star Cherry is not a pollinator for the Van Cherry.
Montmorency is the prime pollinator.
Here is a link with many other choices for a pollinator.
