The cause is a fungal disease called Brown Rot Blossom Blight. The blight attacks fruit trees such as fruiting and flowering apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. Fungus spores infect the tree blossoms in the spring, when the blooms begin to age. Many tiny black spores begin to cover the dying flowers.
How do you revive a dying cherry blossom tree?
If you really want to save it, why not dig it up, loosen the soil in a large and deep area by digging with a shovel to break everything up, then refill the hole partially, mix in a little compost or other organic matter, tamp down the soil at the bottom of the hole and replant your tree.
What is wrong with my cherry blossom tree?
Common cherry tree problems include rot, spot, and knot diseases. Trees can also get blight, canker, and powdery mildew. Root and crown rot diseases result from a fungus-like organism that is present in most soils.
