3 Bonsai Cherry Trees.
Hey everyone as tatty as these look at the moment they are among my most sentimental and favorite bonsai Trees, gorgeous black Cherry (edible)
I currently have 3 in different growing configurations. The first I decided to grow in the shape of a heart as I try to always live my life with peace and love, so everytime I enter my house and look at this Tree it reminds me of my own mantra and to continue practicing it.
The other two I really have no real plan for at the moment. The one I cut off all the leaves of the horizontal branches just leaving a leaf ball at the end. Not sure this is the right Tree for this however, time will tell. I want to get a conifer bonsai going too with this strategy, will work very well with that species I feel.
The idea is as this matures and gets biggest and more robust the long branches will come to an end with "leaf balls" however a long elongated leaf of this particular tree I'm not too sure how this will pan out ?
Love, light and blessings.
Have a magic day.

Hey bud, I gotta question about cherry trees. Maybe you know something I don't.
One of my young small bonsai cherries presumably died suddenly in the onset of spring, shortly after bud break of leaves. Rusty juice was coating all the branches, as if the buds all became exit wounds for the sap to drain out. My other cherry had a slight reaction, with new leaves wilting yellow, but new shoots strong enough to recover.
Any opinion on what this disease is, or what might have caused it?
We had a three day ice storm in February. I wonder if that can cause the buds to rot and leak sap when they opened in April.
Hey brother firstly long time where have you been are you well ?? Sorry only saw this now. Was it not over watered or weather too hot?? I know in this hot climate mine wilt easily and need quiet alot of water in Summer. Strangely though mine have also started going a little yellow into Winter which puzzles me and is a bit of a concern. Those very same Cherries planted in the garden thriving and huge. BONSAI is certainly not natural with soil confined roots fertilizer etc so I guess their "immunity" will never be as strong and the ones grown "more naturally"?? Cheer$;)
Thanks for the experienced feedback.
I haven't been online much lately with both of my jobs keeping me busy, plus getting my garden ready for Summer is practically a third job. So I tend to be less active on Hive when I have less time in front of my home PC.
