My container grown "Stella" cherry tree (3rd season) had beautiful flowers in the spring and went on to produce a good crop of fruit.This has been harvested but the leaves are now dropping quite rapidly. Only 1 or 2 are yellow the rest look quite normal, I can't see any sign of aphids, mildew or the like so I don't know whether to spray and if so, what with? Sorry don't know how to send photo?
I suggest checking the undersides of the leaves that are dropping. Sometimes they are diseased but don't turn yellow before they drop. Here's some info:

This disease has probably infected your other tree and killed it. Many diseases that infect one stonecrop (like cherries) will infect all trees within the genus. This disease needs to be treated, or it becomes a problem for all related trees in the area. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through, so I am unable to make a further diagnosis.
Usually, container trees are killed by overwatering. It is important to monitor soil moisture. This article will help:

The sap bubbles are in multiple spots on several roots above ground. Not sure cutting it away is an option. This is an organic tree and want to keep it that way.
Unfortunately, sounds like bacterial canker has caused slime flux. This can be treated, but it will be only a treatment. As of now, there is no cure. Here is an article that will help:

Third year in a row. Noticing little black hard droppings on patio under tree. Massive fruit all 3 years, but then leaves start dropping off immediately after fruiting.
There are quite a few pests that will cause this. A broad spectrum insecticide should take care of the issue. Here are some articles that will help:

Unfortunately, we do not offer information on specific places to purchase. I would try your local nurseries, or online!
They are 2 yrs old and not in a good position. Want to move and don’t know what is the best time. Cherry and pear. Also, the leaves of cherry are curled and black right at the top but doesn’t seem to affect the fruit
Maybe an infestation by black cherry aphids? Usually happens in the spring and may not cause problems (other than distorted leaves) in mature trees.
Yesterday we had a big storm in Ocean City NJ and today my weeping cherry, peach and rainier cherry tree along with my grapevine leaves got browned. Worst is the weeping cherry, but interestingly only half of the tree got damaged. Can it be from the storm?
Leaves wouldn't be brown unless the branches are broken or there is root damage. Here is what to do:
