A white poplar tree has been removed from my garden. The trunk has been ground out. How soon can I plant an ornamental cherry in its place? Do I have to wait? Thanks.
As long as there was no disease in the last tree, you can plant again right away. If there was disease, then it is best to wait a year before planting.
Other than cutting the limbs, any new effective treatment for Black Knot on the cherry trees yet?
Cutting away the branches and stems that have knots is only the first step. The second step is to apply a fungicide to the tree, which will require a discussion with your local cooperative extension who can tell you which fungicide will work best for your region.

I cannot find suitable space for my okame and wonder if there are ways to keep it small?
Yes, the okame cherry can be kept smaller in a pot or planter. You can even make it into a bonsai. Some strategic pruning is all it takes!

Why has my cherry tree not yet blossomed? It has blossomed every year about late Feb to early March. I haven't cut it back and all the others in the local area have blossomed.
What kind of cherry tree do you have and is it the same variety as those in the neighborhood around you?
What has the weather been like? Cold weather can affect the onset of cherry blooms and this is most likely what is happening here, so I think a "wait and see" approach is best for the time being.
Should a white cherry blossom tree be pruned in full bloom? Our council workers are going to hard prune a wonderful white cherry blossom tree in front of our house. It is in full, beautiful bloom. I am terrified this will harm this lovely tree. I thought all trees should be pruned when dormant, i.e. early spring or late autumn. Can you please advise asap!! Many, many thanks.
The short answer is no - the blossom will soon be over and then the tree can be pruned quite safely, but not too hard!

The last two years my trees have dropped a significant amount of fruit early. In addition, the fruit on my cherry trees, Rainier and Bing, has rotted before ripe enough to pick. Last year we got less that a quart bag on trees that were loaded with rotten fruit. What am I doing wrong?
I am wondering if the brown rot fungus is afflicting your trees - I have included a link to an article about brown rot below so you can make a determination. Brown rot looks like this:

Preventative measures, such as applying a fungicide in the early spring prior to onset of flower buds appear is key.

The bark has a noticeable split in its trunk which has been there for a number of years. The split seems to be fairly static. Enclosed are some images. Are you able to comment on the possible problem? Please see images attached.
I am going to refer you to a very excellent article on bark splitting from Cornell University which discusses the possible reasons this occurred (various environmental factors).
