What can you do about beetles eating the leaves of cherry trees?

There are multiple types of beetles that attack cherry trees and, without seeing them, I can only offer several suggestions and you'll have to experiment. However, Neem oil (available at most garden centers) is an organic insecticide which takes care of multiple types of beetles. You may have to apply it several times if it's rainy in your area as it washes off. Some gardeners whose trees are badly infested put on two sets of gloves and smear the oil over the leaves thus getting a really good coat on. They throw the exterior set (the one that came in contact with the neem oil away or wash it separately from everything else and use it only for that purpose from then on). Home remedies include squishing the beetles by hand (wear gloves, it's effective but nasty) or knocking the beetles off the plant into a bucket of soapy water where they will drown. There are other stronger insecticides on the market which will work however be careful of products like these because they can be a) dangerous to friendly insects and b) not all of them work well on all types of cherry trees. Read the label and talk to a knowledgable person at the garden center for help.
