We have a bit of blackknot in the cherry trees around here.
Ive lost plumtrees to it,so eradicating all the cherry is on my list of things todo.
I've also seen the same type of galls in someof the oak trees, but don't know if it is black knot or not.
If it transfers from oak I'm giving up on growing plums.
There a tent caterpillar that targets the cherry here, too.
Dunno if eradicating the cherry will dwindle the caterpillar population or just transfer them toapple trees. (I pick the winter egg cases off of the apple tree ). Can't get 70 feet up a black cherry easily combing for egg cases.
