    This is my first post. I have a 3 year old Lapin Cherry *drawf*, that is approximately
    16 ft tall now. This year the cherries that servived were good but many of them turned prematurally red, then looked like they rotted on the tree. They became black and hard. They had not fully developed when this occured. I live in Agassiz and we had a wet spring, so I initially put it off to too much rain. Is there something else it could have been. Of note, I sprayed the tree every 12 to 14 days with Fruit Plus.

    Thanks
    Ed

    Fruit Rot, possibly? Heavy rains would suggest that to be the case - cherries are no fans of rain, in general.
