Title: Why Are Cherries Turning Black?
Post by: whitespirit66 on June 03, 2010, 13:46

I have a young, small 'Stella' variety cherry tree. For an immature tree, it has a good amount of cherries developing on it. Half of the cherries are small and green at present, look healthy, and are coming on nicely.
However, the other half are turning black and apear to be withering. Does anyone know why this may be happening?

Lack of water?
