First 2 pics are the tree in question, white cherry is I assume dead! I don't know why, 3 red pic is of my other cherry 10 ft away and it's perfect! Please what is happening! 4 th pic is of Saturn peaches right next to dying cherry! ?????????????

I can't help with fixing it, but I do know the pain of an unhealthy plant, especially one you love. I hope that someone is able to help and make them better!

if it's newly planted, then it's weak root dried out
my 2cent, try to shade it from sun, it may live again

god bless

The same thing has happened to every sweet cherry tree I have planted (10 trees total), some of which were in the ground for several years before dying.  I have tried many different varieties.  The last one I had looked great this spring and then just died.  Sweet cherries do not like clay or wet feet and are marginal in zone 6a.  No more sweet cherries for me.  The only cherries that I can grow are sour cherries.  They do not seem to be as picky.

Thanks,

Brad

Do you have a protective cage around the roots?  Perhaps something is eating them from underground?

I guess that explains what happened to my sweet cherry as well. Year 3, came out of dormancy fine this spring then just died. My other 2 cherries are fine.

In the picture on the left, there is a tree in the background.  Something seems to be happening (darkening) near the base.  It's hard to see but the tree seems to be struggling.  Could that be a similar story?  Maybe a problem with the graft?  Maybe a borer or bacterium affecting the lower trunk / root, such as crown rot.

If you've been getting a lot of rain then it's probably Crown rot.

If the tree is weak or has some damage, possibly from a weed wacker, then it can open a spot for fungus, bacteria or insects to enter and do their thing. To help your other trees put something around the trunk to protect it from weed wacker string damage.
