Being from Columbus Ohio, I should have noted that as well. Down in
Columbus we did not have the problem you may have had in Cleveland, but we
would get an occasional year without cherries.

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.
