They are so full of flowers but did not grow much for the last 2 years now. But I am eating a lot of mouthfuls in 2 years now. And the birds.

You can try plucking them off. But cherries are one of those fruit trees that are not affected by thinning. Certainly it should help the growth even if just a little bit. So you can forego some cherries this year. Anyway, the cherries in the fruit stands will be truly cheap this year at peak harvest time...
