Why are the leaves on my cherry tree turning yellow and falling in June?

I planted this cherry tree on Victoria day and take care it very much. I already got 15 cherries on the tree. But recently some leaves turned yellow and falled down, three cherries falled down too. So, what's wrong?

    Sounds like you asked this baby to do too much this year and it is plum out of reserve food energy. The first two years or so after planting the tree needs to put it's stored energy into making roots, not new growth, flowers or fruit. You see, plants operate on "battery power" that is stored food reserves. The smaller the tree, the less the reserves.

    So when you plant it into your garden, any damage in planting causes the plant to take reserved energy and contain the injury. Then if you did not water properly and roots die (from drought or drowning), the plant must take more energy to make more roots. The plant wants to live so is trying to make new roots (more energy loss) and then you want cherries too? With new trees it's a good idea to pick off flowers and any developing fruit for a few years allowing the plant time to establish that great root system so it can grab soil nutrients and get growing.

    Get the rest of those cherries off! Also mulch around the soil under the tree to prevent drought.

    Most trees throw their leaves off if they get dry as a survival technique.

    Your tree is only young and hasn't got enough roots yet to sustain growth cherries and leaves.

    Give it a deep watering once a week during the growing season and don't let it dry out completely the first year or so till it is established. Don't overwater at this stage you may burn it, just give it lots of water and fertilize in spring.
