Last year I managed to prune my two Suriname cherries at exactly the wrong time and wiped out all the nodules that would have turned into buds (they were, alas, blocking our security cameras and there was some drama on the street and it needed to be done).
This whole year I'm just very carefully ignoring them. End of winter, when the buds should come out I'll fertilize them (in fact I may get out there and give them an early bump when it next rains, remembering I am at the start of Southern Hem winter right now). So it's just patience, I think. I'm curious to see what other folks have to say!
