it flowered & put out new branches it is in ground & kept moist. Now a lot of leaves are turning brown & shriveling on the bottom of some branches. What could it be. I had 1 for 25+ yrs & the last 2 yrs wasps were climbing up the branches & eating the leaves & we had to cot it down. We don't see any insects on it & don't want to loose it. Please help!
This can happen when the roots are disturbed during planting. Usually, it will not kill the tree, but overwatering will.
Be sure to let the soil dry down to at least 3 inches between watering, even when establishing.
To be safe, I would treat with a fungicide.

I have a snow fountain flowering cherry that has been planted for three years. The bottom half of the tree has new leaves and the top half seem to be dying. the top started growing small leaves and then looked as if it started drying up on the top half only. The stems are not so dry they break, just wondering if you have any ideas or suggestions?
It looks like a severe blight, and the original rootstock is taking back over. Likely a wild cherry type.
Unfortunately, this tree is done. I would recommend replanting with something that is not related. Stay away from cherries to avoid the same thing happening again.

My 4 year weeping cherry willow has not bloomed flowers in 2 years and weak leaf blooms as well. Is there a fix or solution for this? My landscaper says no, wants to sell me another one. Please help
You do need another one, as that one will never return to a nice form. You will, also, need to correct what is in the soil causing the issue, or this will happen again!
I would avoid this and plant something else. Weeping cherries are not related to willows in any way, so an actual dwarf willow can be ok. Other weeping trees that are not related to cherries will be mulberries, cedars, and figs, among many more.
Here is an article that will suggest a few weeping trees that may be suitable for the area, aside from a cherry:

Tree trunk and limbs powdery white . What is best remedy ? Thanks
I am unable to see details of the pest in question. I do notice signs of overwatering and infections, however. It is possible that the issue on the bark is related to this.
Treatment will consist of fungicide or bactericide. These articles will help:

Proper watering habits will prevent future issues. Make sure that the soil has time to dry out completely, at least, down to 3 or 4 inches between waterings.

We decided to let it grow out and see what happens and I’ve noticed that the leaves on the branch that grows upward has larger leaves
It appears that a shoot from the grafted rootstock has grown out. Generally, you will not want these "suckers" growing as far as this one has, since they are much more vigorous than the grafted top. They will easily sap nutrients from the weeping portion of the tree. I would remove it, and continue to remove any branches that do this in the future as weill.

We live in west central Illinois. Tree was planted in late Sept 2018. It is now early July 2019. It is doing well & bloomed beautifully in April.
Tree guards should always be removed in spring. While they can be useful as protection against trimmers and mowers, they also provide a safe haven for insects and disease. Here is more:
