Why Doesn't My Cherry TreeBloom? by _dreamprince_ 2011/03/13 05:28
Cherry trees produce fruit three
to seven years after planting.
Healthy trees will create clusters
of blossoms followed by quality
fruit. Diseased or weak trees will
perform poorly.

Diseases
Several diseases cause
cherry trees not to bloom.
Black knot affects branches,
twigs and fruit spurs,
eventually causing the wood
to break off and the tree to
die. A fungal disease called
silver leaf mainly affects the
foliage, but toxins can also
kill branches or the entire
tree. Brown rot fungus
infects blossoms and fruit,
causing the fruit to rot. It
affects sweet cherry more
harshly than sour cherry.

Insects
Black cherry aphids cause
cherry tree leaves to twist,
stunt or curl. The insects
secrete honeydew, which
drips onto the blossoms and
fruit and eventually becomes
a black fungus. Borers
create tunnels that interfere
with nutrients and water
within the cherry tree, which
can affect the blooming
period. San Jose scale
generally affects the tree's
leaves but also causes
specks to appear on the
fruit. It eventually kills
branches.

Freeze
Blossoms and fruit buds may
die in extremely cold winters.
While sour cherry trees can
handle the cold, sweet
cherry trees are prone to
damage until they enter
dormancy. Extended periods
of warm weather during
winter can cause cherry
trees to lose their ability to
handle the cold.
