Spots On Cherry Tree

[midagetrolop]

I have a morello cherry tree in the garden, just been outside to look round after all that rain and found it has small red spots on it's leaves and the end of the branches and all twisted and brown. What can I do please help.

My Dad used to have cherry trees and this is a particularly dangerous fungus. You will need to rake away and dispose of any fallen leaves and buy a strong fungicide, especially for cherry trees and follow the instructions to the letter. It always worked for Dad. Sorry I don't know what the fungicide is called, but you could use Google or ask at the garden section where you go to buy it.

Thanks it looks pretty bad, but seems to happened all of a sudden - or it's because I haven't been out for some days because of torrential rain.

Sounds to me like 'peach leaf curl'.
Check it out on the RHS site for ways to deal with it.
