Some information about cherry trees:

Cherry Prunus avium (Rosaceae)

Productive in all regions. It grows on all soils except clayey and too wet.

PRUNING: It should be done every year at the end of winter before budding and is limited to balancing the vegetation and thinning out the center of the tree. Avoid eliminating large branches. It is also advisable to carry out a light summer pruning in June, eliminating only the most vigorous suckers that have grown in the upper and internal part of the tree. Planting distance from 5x4 to 6x6.

POLLINATION: Non-self-fertile cherry varieties require pollinating varieties nearby to produce fruit properly.
Anti-parasitic treatments

Monilia: strikes during flowering and fruit setting and near fruit ripening. The use of products containing “triforines” or “benzamidazoles” or “coppers” can help.

Coryneum and Anthracnose: it is evident with leaves with holes; it is very fearful due to early defoliation and therefore the defense must be done every year at the vegetative restart and after 15 days with products based on Tiram or Dodine.

Scale insects and aphids.
