We lost 20 cherry trees after we built the pond. Even though they were back aways from the pond, the water must of saturated the roots. Also we are finding that growing grass around the pond is hard to do when using dirt that was gathered from the digging of the pond.
Sorry to hear that - I bet it would have been absolutely beautiful to have those blooming around that nice looking pond. Surprising that they died if they were set back far enough. I don't know much about cherry trees (other than if you chop one down, you are overcome with guilt and can't lie about having done it), but that seems odd.
