September 5, 2022Q.What Is The Optimum Pollinator For My Bing Cherry Plant In Oceanside Area Of California? Will It Be Available Nearby?
I have grown up a bing cherry plant, now ~ 4 years old. It is showing no sign of flowering, what to say of fruits. I understand that a pollinator is also needed. Two years back, I tried to grow a Stella and Rainer plants from their dorments. Unfortunately they slowly died, showing no growth.Please let me know how to progress.

Certified ExpertA.Tulare is similar and is a good pollinator. You will need to inquire at local nurseries who sell fruit trees for its availability. They should know what other trees are good pollinators. Make sure it is a sweet cherry and blooms at the same time as Bing.

Certified ExpertA.Cherry trees should be pruned in the winter, when they are dormant. The exception is sweet cherries. They should be lightly pruned in summer. These articles should help:

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the fungus in question. In the meantime, you could try a general fungicide, and pruning infected portions.

Certified ExpertA.I checked several articles about cankers and the only mention of pretreating was in the article below. It said it can help to pretreat for nematodes. The best prevention is buying trees well adapted to your region and taking proper care of them. If you've decided on a tree, check our database for information on their care (www.gardeningknowhow.com). Here is more:

January 6, 2024Q.Read Your Article On Winter/dormant Pruning Sour Cherry Tree. Am Confused By Directions That Read “prune As Late In Winter As Pos
sible" but "once the risk of winter frost has passed". If I prune as late in the winter as possible, there will still surely be a frost in March (early spring here in Virginia) so I am not clear on when I can winter prune. The tree is around 9 years old and has way too many vertical growing branches. It seems to be a healthy tree but I don't get many cherries, probably because of the density of branches. Thanks so much for your advice.

Certified ExpertA.Another resource said to prune from February to late March in your area. Thinning is the recommended practice for mature trees. Here is more:
