Weeping Cherry Leaves Turning Yellow?

Weeping Cherry Leaves Turning YellowI live in Southern Indiana, climate zone 6b. I planted this beautiful tree on March 28, 2016. It bloomed beautifully! The hole was twice as big as the container and I mixed together 1/2 Miracle Gro potting soil with the dirt that came out of the hole. The second pic is May 3, 2016. On May 10 the tree was full of leaves and even had about 15 cool little cherries on it, until the birds ate them all! About two weeks ago the leaves started turning yellow then brown. Today, May 27, 2016, there are a few green wilted leaves left. I watered it well since it was put in the ground, (except during heavy rain days). Weeping Cherry Leaves Turning Yellow

 

The rains here have been absolutely horrible. I believe it's been so wet it has drowned? I can bring it back to the store, but there are no nice ones left. This happened so fast! Is the tree dead? I don't think it could just 'keel over' like this. The tree is not as small as it looks, it was so vibrant and lively just two weeks ago. Is there anything I can do to bring it back from the 'hell' that it's in if it's not dead? Most all of the branches are not brittle and still bend. This was my 'center piece' in my new garden and I don't want to wait a year to see if it's a goner. Please help my poor little tree. :( The picture in the middle was just 14 days ago.

I personally don't think your tree is dead. I do think that you need to take the tree out of the ground and check the roots. You can plant this in a large container to bring it back to life. Afterwards, cut back all the branches to start new leaves growing on the tree.

Check the roots of your tree for ants. During a lot of rain ants can go underground and attack the roots of your plants. By uprooting this plant, checking the roots, and planting it in a pot should help.
