Cherry trees not fruiting

  For the last 3 years we have had kilos and kilos of fruit off our 5 huge cherry trees but this year there is hardly any fruit. Anyone have any ideas as to why? There isn't any sign of disease/pests, could it be the dry spring? (NW France) So disappointing -no cherry jam or cherry brandy this year!
  Strangely the apple trees have loads of fruit and the plum and pear are looking good.

  Could easily be lack of water,strangely enough I heard on the radio this morning of a similar problem with a Plum,although in that case the fruit had set,got to the size of a pea and then the tree aborted nearly all the plums.
  The 'experts' advice was lack of water, the caller had been giving each tree about 10 Litres of water every 4 days,this was thought to be not enough at all,after such a dry Spring.
  
  Could also be having a year off,our plums can vary so much from year to year.

  Hi GJ,
  
  Our cherries have been disappointing this year after a fantastic flowering. I think also that it was too dry and warm too early plus a bit of biennial bearing too.
  
  Disappointing but offers the promise of a good crop next year.
  
  Last year my Mirabelle was laden, this year very few plums; last year, no Reine Claude this year, not too bad.
  
  I think the message is to plant more trees! Hope you're now getting the rain.

  PS what's happened to punpun??????????
