Question:  Stella cherry tree about 5 years old had lots of blossoms and fruit last year.  This year did not blossom wonder why?

There are many reasons why a cherry tree may not blossom.  The amount of chilling time, a minimum of a couple of a hundred hours below 40 degrees will give it sufficient time to bloom well.  This will vary with the variety.  Also, check the pH of the soil and adjust if not slightly acidic.  Fertilize with a peach/cherry type or bloomer fertilizer in the spring-summer and fall.  Some years will naturally do better than others.
