    The weather could be the reason that the bark split. Cherry trees have thin bark and if temperatures have fluctuated significantly in a short period (such as 70 F to 90 F), the bark could have split due to this. It should heal on its own, especially if the wound is not weeping or splitting further. If the split is widening, you can try protective paper (sold at nurseries) to help hold it together while it heals. Do not cover the wound with tar or any other permanent substance as this can trap disease in the wound.

    Most of the time a cherry does not necessarily have to have another tree for pollination, but it will produce more fruit on the tree year after year if there is another fruiting cherry nearby. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/cherry/cherry-tree-care.htm

    Vaseline is a petroleum product. As far as I know this will kill the tree. L may be wrong, but better safe than dead tree. Check for commercial products which will do the same or use wrapping paper specific to trees.

    Do you see pollinators around the cherry blossoms? Cherries bloom rather early and it may be possible that poor weather is keeping pollinators from your garden that early. Take a look at attracting more pollinators as you will need all you can get that early.

    Also, I would look to a phosphorus deficiency. This can cause problems with plants that produce fruit. Give it a high phosphorus fertilizer or add bone meal to the soil.
