Wassup with these Cherries?

[Perkins]

Apparently they came into full leaf and flowered, but have become defoliated recently.

 

Leaf spot anyone?

 

Treatment?

 

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprumorum, those trees were shot and destined for the bin before they even left the nursery , remove and replant with a different sp.

Looks more like drought damage than frost damage to me

Where did frost damage come from Look at the leaves, and its so widespread . Even young trees in the garden centre's have got it, and most nurseries. Why plant inspectors don't pick it up I will never know ?

Eddy, that's not a dig in any way, the Bacterial infection is widespread in the UK, effecting about 75% of most Prunus avium and ornamental and fruiting varieties , (my own estimate at %) for me, looking at the photos its a very simple diagnosis .

Cos there's less than a dozen inspectors for England and Wales?

Fair one, but its not a difficult one to detect, and it has been around for a long time, you would by now hope not to see it in your local garden center, but i know i could go tomorrow and buy it , already established on Prunus at any one of my local garden centers .
