How do I keep unripe cherries from falling off the tree?

1 Answer

Answer :

Have all the cherries fallen off or just some? How old is the tree?  Has it ever had a crop before?  Did it have a crop last year?  If so, what's changed this year?  Does it get at least 8 hours of sun every day? Does the tree look healthy otherwise?  Are the leaves looking healthy?  Any windstorms lately?  Is it a really big crop?  If the tree can't support the size of the crop it will drop the excess naturally.
