Perhaps it was a good year for that pest last year or if just goes in cycles?

It's exactly the same as what you show here; the brown blotches with silky-bubble cocoons on the leaves.<br />Just wondered if you ever found out what it was and how to treat it, or whether the trees recovered naturally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-8531843758148348522009-08-26T14:32:37.284-07:002009-08-26T14:32:37.284-07:00Cassandra - Yes, I really wonder if it was some od...Cassandra - Yes, I really wonder if it was some odd sequence of unusual weather that resulted in the cherry failure. Our produced fruit for the first time last year, so we would have expected a lot more fruit this year. I can't imagine anything eating the green cherries, since there are so many edible wild berries all around us.Gardenistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129253261044774675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-28964486571419677642009-08-26T14:23:18.495-07:002009-08-26T14:23:18.495-07:00We have a 'Cupid' sour cherry, which is si...We have a 'Cupid' sour cherry, which is similar to the Carmine Jewel. Ours is not very old, and bloomed for the first time this year. It made two green cherries, but then they sort of shrivelled up. They're still on the tree, but I don't think even the birds will want them. We moved the tree this spring, which I thought was the problem, but maybe they had the same problem as yours. Bad weather, maybe? Not enough rain?Cassandrahttp://www.farnorthgarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-9618170324884628912009-08-25T14:57:05.744-07:002009-08-25T14:57:05.744-07:00Can't help with pests, unfortunately.
