Bosun if this is a reply by you to an earlier question you asked and have received answers to please post it in the 'Answer this question' box below the original question not as a new question. Otherwise we have to try and find the original question and work out what is being said.

If this is a new question then we need more info!

Thanks for the tip off, MG. Would have been easier if you'd responded under your original question, Bosun, but anyway, on the subject of your cherry tree - they tend to want to put out shallow, horizontal roots for a fair distance as well as a few main ones going down deep into the ground. Your cherry cannot do this in a pot, which might be why it's not doing well.

thanks
