Egypt on the edge: Troops seen preparing for unarmed combat after President Morsi rebuffs army 48-hour coup deadline
Egypt set for a military coup if Muslim Brotherhood President clings to power
Monday 01 July 2013
Egyptian troops have been seen gearing up for unarmed combat as the clocked continued to tick on the 48-hour ultimatum handed to President Mohamed Morsi.
Images from Al Jazeera's Egypt news channel satellite showed Egyptian troops chanting, marching and training for unarmed combat in the streets of the Red Sea city of Suez at the mouth of the Suez Canal on Tuesday.
Security sources in Suez said that forces from the locally based Third Field Army strengthened their presence in the city overnight after the clashes. Armed vehicles were also sent on patrol, the sources told Reuters.
Military sources said on Tuesday that troops were preparing to deploy on the streets of Cairo and other cities if necessary to prevent clashes between rival political factions.
The UN have now stepped in to urge Egyptian president Morsi to engage in serious national dialogue" with the people, as the military warned of a possible coup if he does not respond within 48-hours.
Rupert Colville, spokesman of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, also said the role of the military, which gave Mursi a 48-hour ultimatum on Monday to resolve the impasse after mass anti-government protests, was crucial.
"We call on the president of Egypt to listen to the demands and wishes of the Egyptian people expressed during these huge protests over the past few days, and to address key issues raised by the opposition and by civil society in recent months," he told a news briefing in Geneva.
In a statement issued at 2am on Tuesday morning by President Morsi's office, Egypt's leader rebuffed the army's 48-hour deadline to meet the demands of the people, despite warnings that they would mount a military coup.
Nine hours after General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi delighted Morsi's opponents by effectively ordering the president to heed the demands of demonstrators, the president's office said that he had not been consulted and would pursue his own plans for national reconciliation.
"The president of the republic was not consulted about the statement issued by the armed forces," it said. "The presidency sees that some of the statements in it carry meanings that could cause confusion in the complex national environment."
The statement continued: "The presidency confirms that it is going forward on its previously plotted path to promote comprehensive national reconciliation ... regardless of any statements that deepen divisions between citizens."
Describing civilian rule as a great gain from the revolution of 2011, Egypt's first freely elected leader, in office for just a year, said he would not let the clock be turned back.
Since this statement was released two spokesmen for the president have quit, according to a foreign ministry official, on top of six cabinet members who resigned yesterday.
But in highlighting that his plans for reconciliation remain the same as those he had spelt out before, he was speaking of offers that have already been rejected by the opposition, leaving it improbable that such compromises would bear fruit before Sisi's deadline.
Morsi also spoke to US President Barack Obama by phone on Monday, the presidency said in a separate statement. Morsi stressed that Egypt was moving forward with a peaceful democratic transition based on the law and constitution, it said.
On Monday the Egyptian military had issued a stark warning that it would be prepared to mount a coup against the Muslim Brotherhood, setting a 48-hour deadline for the government and its opponents to solve the growing political crisis or face military intervention.
Speaking in a televised address, as thousands of anti-government protesters turned out across the country for a second day, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned that the military would offer its own "road map for the future" unless a consensus was reached.
On Monday, Egypt's commander-in-chief praised anti-government demonstrations on Sunday, in which millions of Egyptians took part, as an "unprecedented" and "glorious" expression of the popular will. "If the demands of the people are not realised within the defined period," he had said, "it will be incumbent upon [the armed forces] ... to announce a road map for the future."
Soon afterwards, five military helicopters flew in formation over Tahrir Square – the cradle of the country's 2011 Arab Spring revolt – with Egyptian flags tasselled to the fuselage. The jingoistic display was met with roars from the crowd below.
Mahmoud Badr, founder of the coalition which has spearheaded the renewed anti-government revolt, welcomed the army's intervention as a move towards early elections.
"The statement of the armed forces has a single idea – supporting the will of the Egyptian people at this moment, which means early presidential elections."
Many who heeded the call to revolt are happy to contemplate the military toppling Egypt's elected President.
"After the past two and a half years, there is no other option than having the military as a sponsor," said Mamdouh Badr, an Egyptian activist. "Egypt now has serious problems. We need the military as a solid structure to be part of the political scene for the next four or five years."
However, many other Egyptians, recalling the street protests which demanded an end to the period of martial rule following former President Hosni Mubarak's ousting in 2011, reacted with disbelief and apprehension to the growing clamour for a military coup.
"The military are Mubarak's men through and through," said Farah Saafan, a Cairo-based journalist. "I don't see why we should trust them. They committed horrible atrocities when they held power and should be held accountable for it."
Monday's gambit by Egypt's generals turned the screw ever more tightly on Mr Morsi. He is now facing increasing pressure on several fronts.
The state news agency announced yesterday that five cabinet ministers were tendering their resignations in solidarity with the anti-government protests. Meanwhile the coalition behind this week's massive demonstrations issued its own ultimatum to Mr Morsi, telling the President he must stand down on Tuesday.
The so-called Rebellion campaign gave Egypt's leader until 5pm to resign and trigger fresh presidential elections. If he failed to do so, it warned, organisers would initiate a wave of "complete civil disobedience".
The developments came following a night of deadly violence outside the Muslim Brotherhood's national headquarters in Cairo. Sixteen people are believed to have died in the protests since Sunday.
Although Sunday's marches in the capital were largely peaceful, gun battles erupted soon after nightfall in Moqattam, the limestone cliff plateau in eastern Cairo which houses the Brotherhood's central office. Brotherhood members who had been under attack inside the premises were eventually forced out by their assailants, fleeing early yesterday morning. Dozens of looters then broke in to the smouldering and shattered building, making off with chairs, books, sinks and air conditioning units. By midday, the national headquarters of Egypt's governing movement had been stripped of virtually everything inside – including photos of the embattled president.
Among some of the local onlookers, there was not much sympathy for the party.
"I don't mind the looting," said 56-year-old Faten Shenawy. "This country is broken. I don't want the Muslim Brotherhood."
Speaking to The Independent, an angry Brotherhood official warned that colleagues were now discussing how they would respond. "This cannot continue," said Gehad el-Haddad. "If it was any other party except the Muslim Brotherhood they would probably retaliate".
There were questions about the roles of the police and the army during the incident. Mr Haddad said both were called several times but failed to respond. There was also no sign of any security presence when the looting began, despite the presence of TV crews and reporters.
Police officers have grown increasingly hostile towards the Brotherhood since the election last year.
The Interior Ministry openly warned it would not protect the group's headquarters, while some demonstrators have adopted the iconic revolutionary chant to pledge that "the police and people are on one hand" – much to the bemusement of activists who recall the bloody battles once fought against them.
The current wave of mass demonstrations have been largely peaceful, although campaigners reported more than 40 sexual assaults by gangs against women in Cairo.

Beliefs are false coins; they look like trust, and they can deceive small children very easily. And once you have accepted those beliefs as trust, you will never try to find the distinction - and the distinction is abysmal, unbridgeable.
If you love your children, don't give them any belief. Help them so that they can grow trust. If you don't know something, never lie to the children because sooner or later they are going to find that you lied - and when a child finds that the father lied to him, the teacher lied, the priest lied; all possibilities of trust are destroyed. He could not have conceived that the people he has loved - and has loved totally, because a child loves totally.
An innocent child, absolutely dependent on you, and you have the nerve to deceive him, to say things which he is going to find one day that you never knew! If he asks about God, if you are an authentic father, sincere, honest, you should say "I am seeking, I have not found yet." Give your child a desire to seek, a desire to search. Help him to go on a pilgrimage, and tell him, "It may be that you find it before I find it. Then don't forget me; then help me to find it. Right now, I don't know."
Your child will never disrespect you; your child will never come to a point when he will say that you were dishonest towards him, that you lied. And your child will have tremendous honor for you because you made him, his innocence, his questioning, into a search. You created a seeker, not a believer.
Real parents will not create Christians and Hindus and Mohammedans. Real teachers will not create believers, only authentic seekers.
I had to leave my professorship for a strange reason - perhaps nobody has ever left for such a reason.
I had to teach Shankara, Bradley, Kant - and I don't agree with these people, so I made it clear to my students: "For half an hour I will go into the minutest detail of Shankara's philosophy - unprejudiced, remaining absolutely aloof - and then in the remaining half hour I will give you my opinion, because I cannot teach you something which seems to me to be creating belief, not creating search. I will create doubt in you - not faith, not belief."
The students were very much confused. I was doing the best that I could do when I was teaching them Shankara, Ramanuja, Nimbarka. I was as fair as anybody can be, but after half an hour I was just as critical - creating doubt, creating questions, making it clear that their whole philosophy was not based on any foundation of experience. The students were in a difficulty.
They said, "What are we going to do in the examination?"
I said, "That is your problem. That is not my business; I have nothing to do with the examination. My function here is to teach you. The examination is your business, and that of your examiners."

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
27 May 2012 13:34 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Kuwait, Syria
The Syrian government has denied responsibility for an attack that killed at least 85 people, including 34 children, saying that it was carried out by "terrorists".
Jihad Makdissi, the spokesman for the Syrian foreign ministry, also lashed out at foreign leaders for accusing the government of having committed atrocities "without any evidence".
He told a press conference that "hundreds of armed men" had attacked Houla, a cluster of villages in Homs province, on Friday and clashed with government forces.
"They used heavy weapons and anti-tank rockets," he said on Sunday. "That's why we lost some of our men from the security forces."
Makdissi said Syrian forces were trying to defend themselves but insisted that "no Syrian artillery or heavy weaponry" had been used in Houla.
Live Box 20117693233259422
"Syria will continue defending its citizens," he said.
Activists in the region said Houla was hit by artillery barrage and that pro-government thugs, known as shabiha, stabbed women and children in their houses.
Syrian forces shot and killed at least two men on Sunday as protests broke out to condemn the Houla massacre, opposition activists said.
The two were killed in the Damascus suburbs of Yalda and Daraya, home to thousands of refugees who have fled a military crackdown on the central province of Homs.
'Deplorable act'
Major General Robert Mood, the chief of the UN observer mission deployed to Syria, said monitors touring the area had counted 85 bodies, including 34 children under the age of 10 and seven women.
"Whoever started, whoever responded and whoever supported this deplorable act of violence should be held responsible." Mood said about Friday's assault.
The head of the observer mission talks to Al Jazeera
He told Al Jazeera that a residential area had been hit with a range of weapons, including "rifles, machine guns, artillery shells, tank shells," but stressed that the circumstances that "led to the tragic deaths" were still unclear.
"Whatever I learned on the ground in Syria ... is that I should not jump to conclusions."
Earlier, UN chief Ban Ki-moon and UN-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan condemned the assault, calling it an "appalling and brutal" breach of international law.
"This appalling and brutal crime, involving indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force, is a flagrant violation of international law and of the commitments of the Syrian government to cease the use of heavy weapons in population centres and violence in all its forms," a statement issued on behalf of the two officials said.
Houla has been the scene of frequent anti-government protests since the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began in March last year. The town has also become a hub for opposition fighters.
Hadi al-Abdallah, speaking from Homs, said Houla was under the control of the Free Syrian Army, which meant government troops could not enter the town. Instead, they were launching shells from a distance in a bid to defeat the rebels.
International condemnation
Arab League foreign ministers are to hold an emergency meeting in the wake of the killings, the bloc's current president Kuwait said on Sunday.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
"Kuwait will contact members of the Arab League to hold an emergency ministerial meeting to study the situation and take measures to put an end to the oppressive practices against the Syrian people," a foreign ministry statement cited by the official KUNA news agency said.
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, condemned the killings "in the strongest possible terms" and said in a statement that "the United States will work with the international community to intensify our pressure on Assad and his cronies, whose rule by murder and fear must come to an end".
William Hague, the British foreign secretary, said "we are consulting urgently with our allies on a strong international response, including at the UN Security Council, the EU and UN human rights bodies".
London would seek an urgent session of the Security Council in coming days, in response to "credible and horrific reports that a large number of civilians have been massacred" by Syrian forces in Houla.
A peace plan drawn up by Annan, which took effect on April 12, stipulated that UN observers be deployed in the country to monitor a ceasefire. But both government forces and opposition fighters have continued attacks.
More than 13,000 people have been killed in the country since the uprising began, Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP news agency on Sunday.
"In total, 13,004 people were killed," Abdel Rahman said, adding that 9,183 of them were civilians. Another 3,072 were regime troops, and 749 were army defectors, he added.

veggie questions... (winter edition)
I am growing veggies in containers and have a couple of questions. Any and all insight you can offer would be great! New to this whole thing- especially in winter :)
1)General question
~At what temperature should I be covering all my plants (veggies, herbs, flowers) at night with sheets? I have never lived in cold climate before so this is all new to me!
2) tomatoes
~I got a late start with my recent batch of tomatoes and they are all at different stages, some with fruit some still seedlings. I am wondering, with weather getting colder how long they might still have a chance to grow for or if I should just give up on them.
3)Radishes and Carrots
~I know radishes do well in winter so I plan to keep those going but unsure about carrots...can I plant them as well this time of year in pots and get some "salad toppers"? (fyi these are mini varieties- sparkler radishes and baby finger carrots)
4)Spinach and Lettuce
~I have spinach (melody variety) that I know will stand up in freezing temperatures. What about lettuce? I have very small head variety (forget the name) that is producing leaves currently but wodnering if that will stop and/or if I will be able to plant more!
5) Herbs
~I am hoping to bring my herbs indoors but in case I can't...is there anything than can survive winters outdoors? I have the following herbs at the moment: sage, dill, parsley, cilantro, thyme, catnip, oregano, rosemary
~ ALSO, is there any form of basil that survives outdoors in the winter? All of my plants are fading fast and havent moved beyond two leaf pairs each. I would hate to have nothing to use until warmer weather... (sadly lost all my freezer supplies to a tragic electrical malfunction). IF NOT: what kind do you recommend to grow indoors with limited light available?
I think the catnip will survive and be perennial. I never grew herbs when I lived up north. The basil won't live. It is an annual as far as I know. Unless there is a variety that someone else can tell you about. I would try a few herbs in the brightest window you have and see what happens. Most herbs do well inside. Just don't overwater. We cover our plants when it's supposed to go below 40 degrees. Frost can happen anytime it is 40 or below. The tomatoes won't do much now, but I wouldn't give up on them. If you know it is going to get too cold for them, pick them all and bring them inside. We've had good luck wrapping them individually in newspaper. They ripen up just fine and taste great.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
EPC approves extra funding for fire-paramedic replacement program
City council's most powerful committee has approved additional spending on the city's fire-paramedic replacement program despite serious concerns with the way the project has been handled.
Council's executive policy committee voted Wednesday to approve a request for $2.5-million in extra cash to complete the construction of four new fire-paramedic stations in Winnipeg.
The bulk of the money will cover $2.3 million worth of cost increases at Station No. 11, under construction inside a cloverleaf at the intersection of Portage Avenue and Route 90. Last week, council's protection committee declined to approve the additional spending because the report lacked sufficient financial detail.
On Wednesday, EPC members said they still have grave concerns about the report as well as the handling of the fire-paramedic station program, which resulted in a new Station No. 12 built on privately owned land and construction on Station No. 11 commencing without a contract for the entire project.
Couns. Russ Wyatt (Transcona), Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan), Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo), Scott Fielding (St. James-Brooklands) and Dan Vandal (St. Boniface) all raised concerns about the program or expressed an eagerness to see the results of an external review of the program. Wyatt strongly hinted there must be consequences for senior city management, claiming it would set a precedent to allow cost increases to be authorized without council oversight.
Mayor Sam Katz, meanwhile, listed off a series of other city, provincial and Crown corporation construction projects that have gone over budget to a greater extent than the fire-paramedic station replacement program.
Pending council approval next week, the additional cash will come from the 2013 budget. Alex Forrest of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg appeared before EPC to urge them not to delay the construction of three other new fire-paramedic stations.
Earlier in the day, Katz gave his blessing to an entirely separate city plan to purchase the privately owned land below Winnipeg's new fire-paramedic Station No. 12.
Katz told reporters he liked a property-committee decision to direct city staff to negotiate a purchase price for the Taylor Avenue property belonging to Shindico Realty, effectively killing a proposal to swap this property for two old fire halls and a parcel of vacant city land.
That decision, which does not require approval from council as a whole, would see the city and Shindico compare independent market-value appraisals for the land. The final sale price must be approved by council.
Katz said it's clear there is no desire on council to proceed with a land swap that has angered elected officials, members of the public and Winnipeg's real estate industry.
"Bringing closure to a scenario where the city has a building that they rightfully should own on someone else's property, I believe moving that forward to bring closure to that is a very good thing," Katz said.
The property committee also voted to declare the old Station No. 12 on Grosvenor Avenue, the soon-to-be-decommissioned Station No. 11 on Berry Street and a vacant parcel of city land at Mulvey Avenue East surplus to the city needs. This does require council approval.
River Heights Coun. John Orlikow said he will vote against this plan because members of the community have another desired use for the old Station No. 12.
Katz said he does not know how Shindico feels about the plan. Officials with the company have declined to comment.

Tony busted out the slick move by pretending like he forgot his bank card at the the cafe. He has been eyeing Rose for some time and she has a lot to look at. She had ass for days. He poured on the charm and got her to open up a little bit, but I guess he has been going there for a while now since Rose was pretty friendly with him. We got the inside scoop about her stripping night job which got us wanting more. Tony begged her to come back and have a nice relaxing stress releasing good time before her night job. When we got back she showed us her stripper outfit. Her ass blew our minds. It was so juicy with the the perfect amount of firmness combined with the right amount of jiggle. She was having a good time which made us very happy. Tony buried his face in her ass until she started to moan. After that the stripper clothes were peeled off and that glorious ass of hers made waves.

Cut to the manor's front door, hanging open ominously in the dark. Prue enters cautiously, and the camera pans down her approaching form to linger over each hideous element of her outfit, from the "No wire hangers" Mommie Dearest hairstyle to the cowl-neck sweater topped by a marabou-trimmed knee-length magenta coat to her black satin pants. Okay, you got me. I'm scared. Prue moves down the hallway, noting several smashed mirrors. She steps gingerly over a pile of broken glass to enter the parlor, and we switch to a POV of the apparent intruder, watching Prue. A black-clad figure leaps from the shadows behind Prue, body-slamming her over the back of a sofa. As an overturned lamp shoots sparks on the carpet, Prue TKs the intruder through the window into the yard below. The camera pans in on Shannen Doherty's utterly expressionless face, and we cut to the credits.
Fade up on Halliwell Manor. Phoebe hands Prue an ice pack for her injured shoulder while Piper sweeps up broken glass. Prue's cowl-neck is also sleeveless, with several large wooden buttons down the front. I'm not making this stuff up. I wish to God I were, but I'm not. The sisters engage in intruder chatter. Piper understandably is more than a little creeped out at the idea of a stranger stomping through their house, breaking mirrors and rifling through their possessions. Demon-obsessed Prue wonders why her sisters aren't considering the possibility the stranger was hell-sent. Piper notes the only demon they encountered who used mirrors was "Callie," and they already "vanquished her sorry ass." Prue reminds Piper and Phoebe that the vanquished have returned before, most recently in the form of the Grimlocks of last week. Detective Darryl descends from upstairs, cutting short the speculation. He's dusted for fingerprints, and found quite a few that don't match the sister's samples. And he knows this how -- through a simple visual check? Whatever. He announces he'll run the strange prints through the computer to see if he can find a match. Triad-addled Prue snarks that he'll fail, noting that "Book of Shadows 101" tells them mirrors are portals for demons. Darryl notes that that's not his area of expertise, and asks the three to come up with a "grudge list" of any potential enemies the Halliwells may have made. Prue hands him a sheet of paper containing the names of every demon they've encountered in the last two years, which is not what Darryl is looking for. Prue blows him off, announcing she's heading to the attic to consult the BoS for mirror-related meanies. As she leaves, Piper asks Darryl if he thinks the intruder was human. "In any other house, yeah," he allows. "Around here, you never know."
Prue calls from upstairs, and the three head for the attic. Prue complains that she had locked the now-wide-open attic door, as she had been doing since she and Phoebe caught a demon in the attic two weeks ago. Darryl, incredulous, wonders why they'd lock up the attic but not do the same for the rest of the house. Overconfident Prue notes she never locks the front door, and Darryl bitches the three of them out for not caring at all about security measures all other urban women take for granted. Preach it, Darryl. "We're witches," Prue bitches right back. "We can deal with it." Darryl sighs in frustration, and determines the attic lock wasn't forced. Phoebe finds it "ludicrous" that Prue refuses to entertain the notion that the home invasion was the work of a human, and Prue finds it equally ludicrous that her sisters refuse to find the Triad at fault. Piper calmly asks Darryl to give the three a moment alone for a sister-to-sister conference.

My 82-year-old stepdad came down with a nasty bug a few weeks ago. It hit him suddenly, and within a couple of hours he was flat on his back.
As soon as I heard he was sick, I went to the stove and boiled some elderberries in 2 cups of water, added some sage, alfalfa and lemon grass and simmered it for an hour. I let it steep covered for 2 more hours, then strained the herbs from the water. I put the tea water back on the stove till hot enough to emulsify 1 cup of clover honey and then bottled the tea. One Tablespoon every 4 hours and he was a new man in less than 24 hours!
Ah, the power of plants!

Did You Know?
Unusually offensive body odor is often the result of toxins built up in the body, making their way out through the skin. Whether it's your feet, armpits or fecal matter, all such foul smells usually have the same root cause: excess toxins. Tackling such issues with an external remedy is usually, at best, a temporary fix. The use of Bentonite clay internally can flush out a wide variety of odor-causing toxins. A young lady from Florida recently shared how wonderful it is to be free of the offensive odor that had plagued her for some time. She thought it would never go away, but not long after she started consuming Bentonite clay, the body odor disappeared.

Bellydance Evolution: Alice in Wonderland
The setup certainly sounds like someone went down a certain rabbit hole or nibbled the wrong mushroom: Combine belly dance with street dance to retell the story of Alice in Wonderland. Yet mixing Middle Eastern dance with contemporary dance forms is exactly what the 20-member Bellydance Evolution and choreographer Jillina Carlano are all about. The 5-year-old troupe combines contemporary dance, acrobatics, street dance, theatrical hip-hop and tribal dance to present narrative stories. Here they take on the Lewis Carroll classic with an original score by Paul Dinletir and Ozzy Ashkenazi's live beats. After all, what could be more appropriate than a hip-hop white rabbit?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Big-name investors eye asteroid mining?
A cryptic news release issued last week suggested a blockbuster team of investors -- including Google Inc. co-founder Larry Page and Canadian filmmaker James Cameron -- are set to back a space-exploration venture that could have plans to mine asteroids.
The release contained few details of the team's plans but suggested more would be revealed this morning during a news conference at Seattle's Museum of Flight.
Related Items
"The company will overlay two critical sectors -- space exploration and natural resources -- to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP," the release said, adding the startup would "create a new industry and new definition of 'natural resources.' "
Plans for the company, to be called Planetary Resources Inc., will be unveiled by space entrepreneurs Peter Diamandis and Eric Anderson, along with NASA scientists and astronauts Chris Lewicki and Tom Jones, the release said.
In addition to Page and the exploration-minded Cameron, investors and advisers in the company include Google chairman Eric Schmidt, former Microsoft Corp. chief software architect Charles Simonyi and Ross Perot Jr., son of the well-known U.S. businessman.
The release, apparently circulated last Wednesday, got many speculating on what the company's purpose would be.
MIT's Technology Review and Discover Magazine's Bad Astronomy blog both suggested it could be asteroid mining.

Weeping Cherry is losing leaves
I planted a weeping cherry on the edge of my flower garden in May. Several of it's leaves started turning brown pretty much right away. There are a few branches that are completely barren of leaves now, tho most still have green healthy looking leaves on them. I have no idea what is going wrong. The branches that have lost their leaves are still flexible and green. Please help!
Dear Evan SC,
Thank you very much for your inquiry. The Garden Nurse, Susan Gruber, has provided the information below.
You describe classic symptoms of transplant shock. It is very common for plants to show some leaf drop and browning soon after planting. Most trees recover well - and although it may look a little rough for the rest of this season, chances are it will be just fine. If many more leaves turn brown and fall off, it may be worth calling the nursery where you purchased the plant and inquire about their return/replacement policy. Keep your receipt and document the appearance of the tree with some photos.
Here are some tips to help the tree establish:
Water the tree roots and the soil around the planting hole weekly unless there has been a soaking rain. More frequent watering can reduce root growth.
Place 3-4" of bark mulch over the root system, beginning an inch away from the trunk and extending 6" past the edge of the planting hole. Mulch is one of the best ways to provide the roots with the best growing conditions.
Do not fertilize until next spring.
Wait to prune off any leafless branches until next spring, then trim off any dead wood as soon as you see new leaves beginning to grow.
Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more.
Trey Rogers, The Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor, YardDoctor.com
I have a 19 yr old weeping cherry tree with the same problem. Mostly all of the leaves have turned brown or have fallen off. Should I wait until next Spring to see if it comes back or just take it down now?
I have a 5 year old weeping cherry that lost all its leaves in the last 2 weeks -- any chance it will come back ? Some of the bark has turned black also.
I have a 6 year old weeping cherry tree, that has lost all of it's leaves over the last month. It was beautiful this past Spring when it was in full bloom. But we have received a record amount of rain fall this summer, I live in NH. I do have 2 other weeping cherries and they look great. Do you think it will come back next year? Should I feed it, if so what do you recommend? Thanks, Michelle
I planted a weeping cherry last spring. This spring it bloomed then formed new leaves.
After about 1 week the leaves are now dead. Is my tree dying? Is there anything I can do? The branches are still green and the tree is not yet dead, Should I prune the tree? Can you help?
I live in Staten Island, NY. We bought a weeping cherry about 8 years ago. Every year I cut off more dead branches, but haven't seen any new growth. It blooms every year and is covered with green leaves, but some of the tips are dead and need to be pruned again. We have a lot of red clay soil, we had amended a portion of the yard with top soil and peat moss. My husband says the tree looks nothing like a weeping tree anymore, all the branches have been trimmed so it seems to have just a crown of leaves. What can I do to encourage more new growth?
About four weeks ago we had to transplant a four year old weeping cherry tree in Northern NJ because of location. We used a transplant fertilizer (Mike's) as recommended by the garden center and ammended the soil as well. We had the new hole ready to go before digging out the tree. One piece of root though did break in the transplant process. Now our leaves are getting wilted and showing the same symptoms as mentioned here. Do you think the breaking of the root is the problem or do you think it is just transplant shock?
