Weeping Cherry Not Flowering: Borer Damage and Fertilizer Fix

Issues

Sap weeping (borers), thinning canopy, and no flowers on a 15-year-old weeping cherry indicate chronic stress.

Steps

• Borers: Insert a needle into sap holes to kill larvae (non-chemical).
• Fertilize: Slow-release fertilizer to rebuild vigor.
• Water: Deep, infrequent; avoid mulch against trunk.

Recovery may take a season; monitor for bloom next spring.
