Default aphids on cherry tree?

Any general broad scope insecticide should do the job. Check the label for
specific
bugs it attacks and if it is suitable for fruit trees. Don't forget protective
gear, including a breather mask and try for a calm day.

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I just purchased a new (old) house and in the corner of the
lot is a cherry tree that's absolutely infested with aphids. It's not
huge - About 10 feet tall and 10 feet in diamter.

What's the best way to get of these critters and bring this tree back
to its former happy state?

Cheers,
