Cherry aid for my thirsty blossoms

-

The blossoms on my cherry tree are dropping early. Is this a bad sign for my cherries? Rose, Margate, Kent DAVID: Blossom may drop prematurel­y for a number of reasons. Wind, frost damage or a lack of water could be to blame, so make sure you are watering in dry spells and provide shelter if your tree is particular­ly exposed. Better shelter should increase bee activity. Fertilise as normal to encourage your crop of fruit.
