Oh No !!

No water ? no wonder the poor thing is dying in front of  your eyes. It needed a large bucketful of water every day after you planted it. Try watering now - you might save it.

Check the leaves carefully, espexially at the end of the twigs. My cherry tree leaves have masses of blackfly gobbling up the juices. Can't spray cos of visiting goodies. Just about all my mini cherries have dropped off!
