Does anyone make a wire net to keep the branches of a weeping cheery tree weeping? If so, where would I get one?

July 29, 2015A.You shouldn't need to do this, as the "weeping" is the normal growth habit of the tree. It could be that your tree is grafted and may be in need of pruning to get it to start 'weeping' downward.

July 30, 2015A.Is it soot-like in nature? If so, this is sooty mold fungus, usually brought about by insects, like aphids. you can treat the tree with neem oil, which will take care of whatever pest may be attacking the tree as well as the fungus.

Certified ExpertA.How old is the tree - is this a new planting? Did it bloom last year?
Did a cold snap occur after budding? If so, this may have killed the buds resulting in no blooms.
Did you prune when the buds were set?
Other possibilities include lack of pollination or excessive nitrogen in the soil (did you fertilize?)

August 19, 2015A.If you have a the location for it outdoors now, I would plant it now and it should be established by winter (make sure to water well). If the location is not ready, then I would recommend heeling it in outdoors. This article will explain more about heeling in:

August 22, 2015Q.weeping cherry tree’s yellow leaves
I planted a healthy weeping cherry tree in April and did so according to nursery's directions. It's been doing well until three weeks ago when some leaves began curling--sprayed with organic insect killer (for aphids, etc.). Leaves still curled but new leaves are not; now many leaves are turning yellow w/tiny black specks. Please help, as this tree has sentimental meaning. Thank you.

August 23, 2015A.It sounds like the tree has been stressed by lack of water. If it's still in the container, soak it overnight in a tub of water. If it's in the ground, slowly water with 10 gallons of water over a one hour time period. If it is water stress relates, the yellowing and dropping of leaves should lessen.
Since you didn't indicate your USDA hardiness zone, the leaf drop could be nature doing her thing. All cherries in our area (6b) are completely leafless.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/weeping-cherry/weeping-cherry-growing-tips.htm

August 24, 2015A.If the tree is leaning or need support, by all means stake the tree.
Pruning should only be done if it is absolutely necessary.Here are some links with more information.
