I have asked this question for the past two years, lets hope I can find an answer this year.
I have pruned back to 3/5 leaves on all new growth. I have been told that is about right.
For the past two years I have pruned as as above and the tree has blossomed and the fruits have set, masses of blooms. As soon as the fruits begin to develop they turn a brownish colour and drop; leaving a couple of dozen fruits to ripen.
When the fruits begin to change colour the leaves change too and start change colour and soon become "Lacy" the structure of the leaf becomes visible - see through in some cases.
Recently I have been told it is down to the pollination. A lack of bees! My tree is a Stella cherry and self fertile which I thought meant it did not require bees etc. etc. to pollinate it.
Quite a few issues here! Can any one help this year???
