Cherry Tree Damaged by Late Dormant Spray: Will It Recover?

Late Sulfur/Lime Spray Damage

Spraying after bud break can kill buds and foliage, but the tree likely survives. Contact the nursery that advised the timing and your County Extension Agent for local spray schedules. Provide your location for a specific referral.

Don't panic; many trees recover from such setbacks.
