Powdery Mildew on Cherry Trees (IL)

From: Joan kaiser Cline City: Park ridge, IL
I have three substantial cherry trees in my side yard. The last two years they have suffered with a mold I have tried to battle. What is the best thing I can do to save my trees.

Hi Joan: I assume the mold you speak of is powdery mildew on the leaves? If so, a fungicide can be used to assist you in controlling powdery mildew on your cherry trees. Here's an excellent reference from Purdue University: http://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/BP/BP-5-W.pdf
