My Dr. Caroyln is sick (Spotted Wilt Virus)

timcunningham · June 10, 2006

My Dr. Caroyln white cherry was doing fantastic, about 5 feet tall, lots of blooms, had set about 50 fruits. Then bam! This week the bottom leaves turned yellow and leaves at the top starting getting wilted. It almost looks like overwatering, but I checked the soil in the earthbox, it is moist but not damp.

Maybe it is some sort of wilt?

So this morning I perfomed some radical surgery on the good Doctor. I cut off all the wilted and yellow leaves (about 25% of the plant) and sprayed her down with some seaweed / fish emulsion.

Here is hoping! If anybody has some suggestions, I am certainly open to them. I will let you know how the surgery turns out.
