A few months ago, I hired an arborist to come out at look at my fruit trees and verify my diagnoses of several problems I found with the cherry trees. Last year, both cherry trees did not bear fruit, and had cankers in the crotch of the tree trunks. Jason, the tree expert, diagnosed gummosis and root weevils, and came out in March to treat all of the trees for these problems, and did a deep fertilizing also.
Now that spring is really here, the trees look healthy, with many clusters of beautiful pink and green buds. The tree trunks look mostly healed, and I expect they will bear fruit after looking at the profusion of blossoms. I'm glad we were able to save the cherry trees!
