The bark has a split about 1 foot down and is peeling away from the tree. Do I put something on it and wrap it or just wrap it? It was planted in May and seemed to be doing fine up till a few days ago.
This can be fairly common on thin barked trees, such as the Weeping Cherry Tree.
These type of bark injuries are not likely to be fatal to your tree, but can invite insects or disease.
In the past covering the wound was the care recommended, but that is no longer the case.
You can use a clean and sharp knife to clean up the edges of the split if needed. This can aide in healing.
The tree will attempt to heal by forming a callus over the cut edges.
If you see any signs of issues, I would use a Neem Oil application on the wound, but only if necessary.
Neem Oil works as both an insecticide and fungicide and is organic.

We planted two standard weeping cherries around 2 years ago. The more larger of the two, and which seemed to be thriving, has suddenly lost its leaves after drying up but not turning brown. The other tree is in great condition, full of green luscious leaves. In the couple weeks after the leaves dying, we have noticed the branches are now becoming wrinkled and dry looking. We water the trees regularly and cannot see lack of water as the problem, and when we checked the soil, it was damp. Can they be over watered? Can we save our beautiful tree?
The leaves turning brown and then dropping is likely caused by a fungus infection.
A Weeping Cherry needs full sun and consistent moisture. A well draining planting site is important for the health of the tree.
If the tree is stressed with either to dry or to wet of conditions it can become infected with fungus infections.
The fungus can spread to other plants and trees, so it's important to clean up the leaves on the ground and dispose of.
You may want to apply a fungicide to the tree. Look for the ingredients of
chlorothalonil or benomyl. Apply according to the directions on the container.
Time will tell if the tree can recover.

Two large egg-shaped, honey-colored, boiled-size lumps situated at 200 cm above ground of tree. What is it and how to treat would be appreciated.
I do think you may be seeing the grafting joints of the Weeping Cherry Tree.
A Weeping Cherry has two parts. The roots and the trunk, the rootstock is actually a fast growing wild Cherry that has been trained into a single straight trunk.
The weeping part or top part is either a white or pink Weeping Cherry and it is grafted onto the trunk. The two parts are grafted together at approx.
5 feet from the ground.
This graft point creates a graft scar.
I believe this is what you are describing.

The weeping cherry showed that it could be planted in wet soil. It never gave any other information that I could find. Also, do wisteria trees grow in a wet areas? Do not want a hedge between our neighbor.
Well draining soil is very important for the health of a Weeping Cherry Tree.
Root rot will likely kill this tree if it is planted in wet, poor draining soil.

Wisteria can take a more damp soil condition, but standing water or poorly draining soil would also not be recommended.

My weeping cherry tree bloomed then went through a frost and snow. The blossoms are now all brown. Will the tree survive?
A lot depends on the age of the tree and the overall exposure of the cold temperatures.
Newer cultivators are less likely to suffer from the cold exposure.
The blossoms may have been lost but the leaves may be fine.
A sheltered location with protection from the wind will help your tree survive cold snaps.
If you do not see growth on the tree do the scratch test. Scratch the bark of the tree. If you see green they are still alive.
If you do not see green and the branches snap and break, you will want to remove the tree and start again.
Look for cultivators that are hardy to your growing zone.

How often should I water my first summer weeping cherry tree in dry weather? I set it out last fall. It is sitting in full hot setting sun and to the left some Bradford pears that may provide some shade.
you can buy a adapter for you garden hose that is a deep root waterer. You push the adapter into the ground beside the tree and turn the water on until you see it come up to the top.
You will want to water your tree deeply at least once a week during dry spells. Apply the water slowly, giving it a chance to sink into the soil as deeply as possible. Adding a 2- to 4-inch layer of organic mulch around the tree will also help the soil retain moisture.
