Sick Cherry Tree

[kitchen guy]

hello everybody,

About 2 years ago, my non fruit bearing cherrytree started to show black spots on its leaves. The leaves started to curl and eventually, brown. The blooms as well as the leaves started to diminish through these couple of years.This last spring, the tree hardly had any new leaves. Can this tree still be saved? I have called a local tree service person and he said for $125.00, he will "inject nutrients". Do you think I should just have my cherry tree cut down instead of spending $125.00?

Thanks,

Kitchen Guy

Nutrient injections, $125.00
New Chainsaw, $400.00
Cutting down a non fruit bearing cherrytree, priceless

I'd need pictures.

You could be dealing with a bad case of coccomyces leafspot, or possibly brown rot.

Neither of the diseases are particularly damaging in the short term, but repeated infections can lead to decline.
