I have six 3 year old Yoshino Cherry trees in my front yard, For the last 2 years one of those trees hasn't flowered. They were all planted at the same time, and bought from the same nursery. What would cause this one tree not to flower? |
Does the foliage all look similar? It could be that the soil the non-flowering one is growing in is somehow different than the others' soil. Since the trees are only 3 years old, it might just be that that tree needs another year before it reaches maturity. If the foliage on the non-flowering tree looks healthy, I'd just be patient. The only other thing I can think of is that high-nitrogen fertilizer can cause lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Lawn fertilizers are usually quite highin nitrogen, so if the non-flowering tree is in a place where it would receive more nitrogen fertilizer than the others, that could be a factor. |
