I am grateful to my friend @freedomshift , for the question he asked to my yesterday's post, which is called Tree loser - Natural gum -κομμίδιον, κόμμι - Камедь - #ccc , you may have read it.
This question - What could people or government do to help lower the acidity for the cherry trees? is very serious and profound.
I think that this topic deserves more than just a short answer to the question.
The fact is that this tree is a vivid example of the fact that not all our good intentions benefit those to whom they are directed. And from this moment I want to push off.
This tree was planted where it can not be planted. It is located near the forest, where the acidity of the soil is high, this is normal. This creates a biotope that is favorable for the development of many other plants, microorganisms, fungi and so on.
For the sake of this tree to reduce the acidity of the soil there is no sense and it will simply be a crime against other representatives of the flora.
This problem is more than one can imagine. No government program is able to solve this problem.
If we consider this problem on a planetary scale, then, the hair will stand on end.
The basis of this problem is in our desires. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to put an equal sign between our desires and our knowledge.
Due to the lack of deep knowledge of the subject of our desires, more plants and animals die daily, in the world, than as a result of forest fires, or from global warming.
Business, the source of income of which are various plants and animals, and these are mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, fish, crustaceans, mollusks and others, works to satisfy our desires. They are not very interested in whether you have, or not, knowledge of the subject of your desires, on the contrary, the less you know and the more desires you have, the more they earn. This business is comparable in scale and profitable part, with the arms trade and drug trafficking combined.
If your child has lost a turtle, which you bought a few months, or days ago, you run to the pet store and buy another turtle, in the hope that the child will not notice this loss.
You did not buy for this tortoise from the very beginning everything that is necessary for her to live outside the will. And this is a terrarium where there is a lot of water and there is a land plot. This is lighting in the infrared spectrum, which will warm up the turtle and fight fungal infections. This is inappropriate food.
All this - the lack of basic knowledge about the subject of their desires.
We also sell different plants, although the sellers know that we are not able to create comfortable conditions for these plants. We will come again for a purchase.
Sometimes our desires do not sting a tangible damage to our pets, but they bring them suffering.
This can be attributed to the content of dogs, which by their nature love the cool, such as, for example, the husky in a hot climate.
Or the acquisition of dogs with a short snout, such as bulldogs, or pugs, but with a lack of understanding that in the folds on the muzzle of these dogs a lot of bacteria collect. These folds must be constantly cleaned, processed. Otherwise, it will lead to inflammatory processes and the dog will suffer greatly.
This picture shows a very well-groomed pug, it can be seen that its owner takes very good care of it.
The reason that the tree suffers is comprehensive. This lack of knowledge is a haste in decision-making. Our desires run ahead of us and this applies to many areas of our lives.
In the first photo of this post, it is not by chance that a flying bee is depicted.
Beginners, inexperienced beekeepers, sometimes, tend to increase the profitability of their apiaries, due to the quality of the breed of bees.
But, for one region these qualities are good, but for another region, this is a big mistake.
The breeds of bees that were brought out to work in the mountainous terrain are not suitable for flatlands and steppes. There are different temperature regimes. The bee, which lives in the mountains, where it's cool, they are a short time in the cool. The bee flies out of the warm beehive, it's warm, the bees keep the temperature in the hives, in the coolness of the mountains, it's not for long. She immediately descends into a warm valley, where she collects nectar and pollen. Then, she also comes back. a short time, between a warm valley and cold mountains, it is in cold air.
It does not harm her.
Here is such a simple example of what our knowledge can save, or take away life from our little friends.
This could be completed, but there is one more point that is very important.
The motivation to put our desires in the background, and to lead the avant-garde of our knowledge, can serve that the lack of knowledge can cause tangible harm to you personally!
A simple example, a violet, I took a photo of a forest violet, but it's about those that sometimes grow in our flower vases, at home.
I have faced this problem myself and this is my experience. The desire to decorate an apartment is a wonderful desire. But, the cases are different. So it was with me. My grandmother in the apartment had a lot of violets, very beautiful flowers. When I came to visit my grandmother, my asthma attacks began constantly. Nobody knew the reason why this happens. Then we learned that I'm allergic to violets and that violets are the strongest allergen. From violets had to get rid of, it's good that they did not get rid of me. Just kidding.
As one old slogan says, knowledge is power! And this is true!

It's amazing that a seemingly simple comment evoked such an in-depth analysis and dissertation.
I agree that human races have done a lot of damage to the environments due to a lack of knowledge and short-sightedness.
I did understand that the cherry tree is where it should not be. The mistake has been made many years ago.
So, the tree has been suffering in acidic soil and survived. Can it feel pain? Was it "bleeding?" Was it crying?" Can it?
Should it be put out of its misery and cut down?
Or, should it be rescued?
My question arose from the latter - right or wrong, who should decide?
Hence the entire question as stated.
Having said that, what should be the answer? Let it be?
My friend, the answer is short. But, as I wrote, I developed the topic. I did not try to teach you. These are my thoughts about topics that are close to me. If in English it sounds different, I'm ready to change, or delete the post. Zoo business and bees is my profile))
I did not take it that way. Your post is very well written.
As I said, and I agreed with you, the tree was planted long ago and should not be there.
So, my question remains ...
Thank you. The second question is more complicated than the first)) It is difficult to say unequivocally. It seems to me that this tree has already run out of tears. This is more like an abscess, a fistula, a furuncle from which the likeness of our lymph flows. This is the last attempt to get the infection out of your body. Be, as it will be, this is something similar to what my father-in-law heard from an oncologist when he was told that he had a fourth stage of cancer. He refused to put the tube into the esophagus. As a result, my father-in-law was dying of hunger and thirst. This is a similar situation with this tree. Even transplanting this tree to another place will not do anything. I looked up, there was almost no leaves left on him. His days are coming to an end.
