cherry trees

I have a cherry tree (that sometimes fruits so not sure if it ornamental) ,that has been plagued with black fly. I was advised to spray with PROVADO ULTIMATE BUG KILLER, but I also want to prune it. Can you advise me on when the best time to do both is. Many thanks 'total novice'

    If it is a sweet edible cherry you prune it in the summer. But I never prune mine. Cherries catch bacterial diseases easily.

    Spray for blackfly when you can see the flies and spray them directly. It should say what to do on the bottle.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
