Cherry Tree Demise ??

My Cherry tree should have plenty of leaf growth by now and is usually
trailing on the ground by now but this year there has been nothing like
anything green. This sort of growth happened on a Cherry tree some years
ago and i am wondering if this is a repeat of the previous problem. The
one pictured is the second one and has been planted in the same
location as the first. I have also attached pictures of the crown of the
tree showing there are buds but no growth. Another picture shows two
stems from the tree with the pith exposed and it seems to me that one of
them may have an infection of some kind.

It looks like one of those Kilmarnock willows.
The ground looks hideously dried out though, so either way, that'll be a factor. If it is one of those willows, they can't be allowed to dry out.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
