    It is a little late in the year to do so, but they should still produce. Those were pruned a little hard, but regenerative pruning can prolong a trees fruiting ability with age. I don't think there is a need to do any extra pruning.

    Those are tree borer larva. When they are already inside the tree, it is often too late to save them. The best that you can do is prevent them. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/tree-borer-insects.htm

    I found this information about the Carmine Jewel Cherry.

    It does not require a pollinator to produce fruit, but having another cherry (Nanking, sandcherry) nearby will increase productivity.
    Prune in early Spring before the bush breaks dormancy. Cherry buds are either vegetative or floral. Usually the end bud and thin side buds are vegetative and most of the larger buds are floral. When pruning, do not cut off tips of branches because you might be removing the vegetative buds and will have nothing to make new shoots.
    Well-drained, sandy loam soil, free of perennial weeds, pH of 6.5 - 8.0, organic matter levels between 2 - 3%.
    This article has more information on why your tree may not be producing.

    Dormant oil can be sprayed during tree dormancy. Neem oil can also be used during the active growing season, but you will want to take care not to spray in full sun. It will be best to wait until it is cloudy, or during the early morning to spray.

    What is the age of this cherry? This can take several years if it was a seedling, and 2, or 3 even from graft in some instances. If you do not see any fruit by 5 or 6 years, then you can begin to suspect that something is wrong.

    In the meantime, this article will give you information on the subject: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/cherry/cherry-tree-not-fruiting.htm
