Cherry slug threatens fruit trees in June and August
Colorado entomologist Dr C P Gillette warns that the cherry slug or cherry sawfly damages cherry leaves, with a first brood in June and a second in August. Eggs hatch into slimy slugs that skeletonize leaves, sometimes reducing fruit quality and causing tree dieback. Slugs also attack pear and plum foliage. Fungicides or insecticides like arsenate of lead, Black Leaf 40, or White Heleborne can control the infestation.

Fruit trees should receive fertilizer every spring. Apply under the outer branches, away from the trunk where fine roots lie. Use nitrogenous fertilizer at about a quarter pound per year of tree age. for example a four year old apple tree gets one pound, a twenty four year old tree six pounds. Old peach trees rarely need more than three pounds. Spread on the ground and let rain wash it in.
