Certified ExpertA.It could be likely that the tree is not suited for your climate. Once it gets cold, it needs to stay cold in order to keep the tree in dormancy. Otherwise, it will begin to flower, exert all of its stored energy, and fail to flower in the Spring...
Sometimes, if it initiates early flowering, and it gets cold enough, quick enough, it will resume normal schedule.
This article will help you to care for the trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/ornamental-cherry/flowering-cherry-tree-care.htm

September 4, 2020Q.I have web worms on an ornamental cherry tree. How do I get rid of them in the fall?
This is a new home for me, but evidently the previous owner also had issues with web worm on this tree. I know it is too late to use any treatments that are designed for spring. What is the best for now in late summer/early fall?

Certified ExpertA.If you can hit the web with a strong enough water spray to break the webs, the birds will get them.
Apparently there is no way around having to break open the webs. A treatment of neem oil would be fine at this time of year, as well as in the spring. There are quite a few natural predators for these guys, so once they're exposed, the problem may resolve itself.
Here's more:

Certified ExpertA.You should consult with a certified arborist first to determine whether they should be removed. If you find they're worth saving, you may want to treat them with a fungicide or copper spray; your local garden nursery can advise you on the safest treatment. Here is an article about the different diseases that afflict cherry trees:

Certified ExpertA.It looks like tree lichens in the photo, which are harmless. There is jelly fungus too, which I will include info about.

https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/fungus-lichen/jelly-fungi-on-trees.htmThe first thing that comes to mind is that it may not have been pruned properly last year. You also may want to check your growing conditions. Here are two articles that should help:

I pulled off a clump of sticky new leaves on my cherry tree last week and noticed black fly. I sprayed the tree then but I noticed this morning that more leaves are curling and sticky. I am new to gardening and am not sure how to contain this disease.
