Default Problem Cherry Tree.
In reply to Treelady ) who wrote this in
, I, Marvo, say :

Cherry trees, generally speaking, do not respond well to hard pruning.
The advice from C.Hogg is sensible, combinng this with some good
quality, well-rotted, mulch may revive the tree. Rarely does hard
pruning revitalise a tree. Such pruning may cause a flush of growth,
which is, basically, the tree endeavouring to recover from the huge
shock of its deprivation.If one is fond of a tree, and the tree is not
disease ridden, it is worth the effort to nurture the tree.

I was really looking forward to the Arboreal Flagellation ...
