Hello, I have a dwarf cherry tree in pot currently in greenhouse to protect from peach leaf curl and birds, doing well but just noticed its got cherry black fly..will this blackfly migrate to other plants in greenhouse...i have all sorts of seedlings in there plus over winter broad beans and peas (all starting to fruit). Should I just move the cherry tree the hell out of there asap?

I can't really speak for a cherry tree in a greenhouse but I do control the cherry aphids on my allotment by pinching out the tips.
Might be worth a try.

lots of ladybirds about here, so haven'tseen that on mine - yet - touch wood, perhaps outside they would clean it up for you.
