My hybrid cherry maters in the containers are way behind. The only thing I can think of is the excessive rain and too many cloudy days. The rest of the varieties are doing well. No signs of bugs or disease.
Poor little guys. Anyone else having any issue with mater growth in the midwest? These should be a foot taller and twice as thing. Started indoors on 15 Feb.

I have two black cherry's in the ground and one in large pot. At first the potted one was winning but it is small and weak right now while my in ground ones are getting to the 7 foot level and very bushy. I did fertilize the potted plant a lot more than than the others. All of these plants were started and brought out at the same time.

yeah, I'm in southern ohio and we had nothing but cloudy/ rainy until just recently. My tomatoes (in deep raised bed) are way behind where they were this time last year, not setting a lot of fruit and the fruit is smaller, greener than it should be. I had ripe tomatoes by 6/20 last year-- not this year!
