I have a mature cherry tree inherited with the house 4 years ago. It has only produced 1 cherry in 3 summers. Blossom & leaves are fine and we get pea sized fruit on stems then suddenly they are all gone before they have a chance to ripen. 2 years ago some branches developed a sticky substance oozing from them and the blossoms looked burned. I cut off these branches and dumped them and it hasn't recurred. Are these related problems? Do I need a special feed? Tree seems healthy otherwise so I'm reluctant to chop it down and start over. Help!
