Pie cherry tree problems...no fruit

I don't know the tree, but many require cross pollination and/or do

Other possible problems, weather, local conditions of soil, moisture or
weather or just a lot of transplant shock.
What zone are you in? When I was a kid we had several old sour cherry
trees in the yard. They were amazingly productive in years when we had
cherries -- but only perhaps every third or fourth year was a "cherry
year". The reason being that in Cleveland OH, the average date of last
frost is fairly close to when the cherries are in flower. If there was
a warm spring and then a late May frost, then brown mushy blossoms, no
cherries. Cold March/April with no late frost === many cherries.
