hi i have a cherry tree which has been fine for 20 years but for the first time this year the large crop is completely infested with maggots. Internet digging seems to diagnose western cherry fly or similar but all flies dont exist in the uk (although common in europe and usa). Can't find another fly in uk that it could be.
Has anyone else had this problem this year? Also found out that cherry harvest is quadrupling this year. Is it possible it's a new pest that has been imported so is the western cherry fly?
