Stress

Excessive moisture, sudden temperature changes, severe frosts, lack of moisture - all this can cause stress in the plant, which, in turn, often leads to the shedding of leaves.

Nutritional deficiency

Lack of nutrients can also cause the problem. Deficiency of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus deprives the tree of strength.

Diseases and pests

Insect attacks, various infections affect the condition of any tree. To prevent unpleasant situations, it is important to use special means.

Heavy load

An abundance of berries last season can lead to the tree being depleted this year. That is why the cherry tree may lose berries while recuperating.

Age

Old trees are also capable of dropping berries. This is due to the hormonal restructuring of the tree.

Once you know the reasons for the berry drop, you can begin to solve the problem. This can be done by applying fertilizer, protecting from bad weather, harvesting the crop on time, and providing the necessary treatment.
