    Hi all

    I planted a small Ornamental Prunus (Flowering white Cherry tree â?? Latin name: Prunus Shirotae) at Easter and over the last few months Iâ??ve noticed strange shapes appearing on its leaves - they look like worm tracks.

    Other round brown patches on the leaves turn into holes. The leaves eventually turn yellow all over and drop off and Iâ??m worried the tree is not going to survive the winter.

    The problem seems to affect practically every leaf. Iâ??ve been watering the tree regularly and I have fed it with Miracle Grow once.

    Is there something I am doing wrong and is there anything I can do to cure the poor tree? Any advice gratefully received!

    Thanks

    Matt

    Hi!
    Yeah looks like you have someone eating your leaves inside, probably some fly larvas,
    and you have some fungi as well, looking at the brown patches,
    get sthg against plum fungus and insects, from ur local garden c
    and its a big tree, will overwinter with no problem
