i moved into a new house and i am having dificulty identifying 2 tree's one i thought was a cherry, but isnt bearing any fruit,,anyone know if its sick and how to treat it so i might get cherries next year? 2nd pictire i have no clue what it is..is it sick too and thats why i am having dificulty recognizing it? any help and suggestions would be great!
The first pic does indeed appear to be a cherry, but an ornamental flowering one. You will not get fruit from that tree. Don't know the second one, looks kind of like a London plane tree--perhaps some kind of Platanus.
#1 is Prunus 'Kanzan', a sterile double-flowered cultivar #2 is a hawthorn or related tree, with a fruit infected by Juniper-Hawthorn rust disease (Gymnosporangium)
thank you for your quick replies.. i was hoping the cherry tree would give me cherries,,, what a tease! ha ha.. the 2nd tree, i looked at photo's of the hawthorn...the flower in the spring was simular, but the leaves are more maple tree like..not like the leaves i see in the photo's online... i am thinking it is a sycamore tree... would that make sense? thanks christine
i just looked up this tree...its alot like it too.... i dont think sycamore only cause the trunk looks like any other tree trunk not camoflauge.... i dont need a big sycamore in my tiny backyard either :S
Agree with hawthorn for the second. Many, many species of hawthorn, depending on the reference you use.
ahhhh..ok, looked up picks of the juniper-hawthorn rust disease, and yes! thats it!! ....how do i get rid of that? and what are the fruits used for?
