My 2 cherry trees are riddled with blackfly at the tips on new

Ours were last year, not so bad this year. Obv. all headed for the
plum instead.


Sickening, isn't it!


It is a bit. Last year we were happy to get 6 plums, with the
expectation of more this year. And now we have zilch. :'(


Same with our cherries. All we can do is prune them so the new growth
grows outwards and not into the middle of the tree, and hope that next year
will be kinder.
