I have a 2 year old weeping cherry tree. I have began to notice that some of the leaves curling and am including a picture I took today. The insects are trying to devour it. It is not too dry because we have had soaking rains at least twice a week for 6 weeks. Is it a fungus? And if it is, how do I treat it? Thank you for any info

Do yoou see the attacking insects? It looks as if something could be damaging its roots.

I'm not sure because I've never seen it but look up peach leaf curl. It's a fungus and there are treatments for it. I don't know how successful they are.

No I haven't seen them but I have been fighting them since I got the tree! I have used liquid Sevin and then just last week I sprayed it with permethrin. Last year it became absolutely covered in what almost looked like a spider web. I posted it on a web site and they said it would not hurt the tree. I am over simplifying what they said but that was the bottom line. That was when I sprayed with liquid Sevin

Root Rot?

I suspect its root rot from too much rain this year. Cherries hate wet feet.

Will that kill the tree?

If that's what it is, most likely.
