Cherries drying and shrivelling

QuestionsCherries drying and shrivelling
Claire Hutton Staff asked 16 years ago

Hi Gerry, I planted a cherry tree ” Stella” 4 years ago and it is very healthy. Every year it has a very good crop but then the fruits dry up, shrivel and fall of the tree. This year there were about 10 edible cherries but even then they were not as plump as they should be.Could it be that the ground is to dry directly after flowering? We had no rain during the entire month of May this year and last year.Thanks Clair
