well it seams ok maybe its putting to much energy into fruiting,rooting and growing.

How much chicken pellet fertilizer, Lizziemae? More than a handful or two may have burnt the roots. Also, did the root ball crack when you were getting it out of the tub?

Only a handful of chicken pellets. Root ball seemed fine, not cracked. My daughter in law dug the holes and made sure everything was ok. Thanks for your help

id try either watering and keeping ya fingers crossed or take some of the burden of the tree ie lose some fruit .

Thanks I'll try that

i just think its trying to do too much at once its my opinion is all.wont hurt will it.your welcome xx

Thankyou.

be nice to know what happens if ya dont mind please xx.

I'll give it a couple of weeks and see how it goes. I'll let you know.

cool thanx xx .

Well the plum tree has taken off. Now the cherry tree sems to have a problem. It's leaves are curling and some are going brown and falling off. Shame, because it was doing so well. Don't quite know whats gone wrong.

well if its heavy with fruit and was replanted it mite be suffering from a bit of droubt . id sink a piece of pipe down to its roots and the other trees while your at it.this way you can water and feed directly the roots . im glad ya other tree is picking up nicley . it was just a guess to take some fruit off of it .it seams that worked out well. anyway if ya cherry is replanted and heavy with fruit is it not worth trying the same thing? eventualy both trees tap roots will find the water table and you wont have to worry so much . take care bye for now xx.

Thankyou very much.

your more than welcome lizzie
