No, they didn't abort ANY fruit. Just first one died after 2 years of summer shedding leaves and 2nd one is doing the same, just delaying leaf drop, by two years. 2nd one produced abundant fruit this year, and starting dying back, I Guess due to drought, but not sure.
ALL OTHER TREES Close to them are doing great!

@ducks4you If only the leafs are shedding off the cherry trees / no fruit, then I think you are right about the affects from no water/drought. Have you had a chance to dig around the tree to check the roots . If dry soil and brown roots it’s a gonner. Is the cambium layer in the bark still green? If so they could still have a chance.

Let me see if I got this correct. The leafless cherry trees had flower buds last spring but no fruit, very odd. Were the flowers ok? Any signs of disease, leaf black spot or insect infestation. The only other thing I can think of is it possible they could have been accidentally been sprayed with a herbicide.

I’ve had cherry trees of different types and never experienced leaf drop. I’m stumped!
Sorry it’s tough to loose trees.
