Most years my non fruiting cherry tree has blackfly on the ends of every twig but as I very rarely use any chemicals and it's too big to tackle anyway I leave them to it. The ladybird larvae have a feast.
How big is the tree? If I get something that is covered I blast it with the hose, high pressure jet.
I'd need the fire brigade to do mine woofy....
Bit of info here even though it is American:

it dont damage the fruit to leave for the Ladybird Fest followed by a Starling crescendo after which you can pick pecked pips

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
I think Woofgang has it!
I was just about to offer the exact, same advice.

A couple of days ago, I noticed a cluster of black fly on the growing tip of my lovely young Acer (vine maple). Luckily I had my hose to hand, turned it on to jet setting and said go ahead make my day suckers, as I blasted them to Timbuktu and boy, did I feel good!
Any ways, I've not seem them suckers since!
