My 12 foot cherry blossom tree has failed to blossom this year. Nearly
all the leaves looked most perculiar but unfortunately i'm no gardener.
The bark looks as though its been got at.
I think the tree has died.
Has anybody got any ideas or advice please?

Has the bark been removed right round the trunk? If that happens at the
"right" moment, you can get leaves before the tree dies.

In what way do the leaves look peculiar? Curled up? Dry? Not fully
developed? Wrong colour? Has anything like it happened to neighbours'
trees, or others of your own? If so, are they all cherries, or other
species too?
