Hi everyone. I have a dilemma. My cherry tree is covered on the tips with a black beatle. The tree is mature so I cannot spray it. Every year is the same starts off beautiful then ends up horrid. I think the masses of bees is due to sweet sap pouring out the tips. I am on the verge of chopping it down, which I dont really want to do. I also have a new cherry tree on the front garden, which is suffering too. please advise. Thanks.

    Just like to add. These black beatles bite. I have decided to chop it down. I have noticed

    the bugs are all over the trunk & on my other plants.

    Thanks for your advice Firecracker.
