Young cherry tree

I planted a morello cherry tree in autumn 2011. As expected, there was no fruit in 2012. This summer the tree fruited, but only with tiny, tart cherries. Is this normal for a 2 year old tree, and can I expect larger fruit in future years?

Thanks!

    Sounds normal to me, Cardoon.  While the tree is young you can thin out the fruit to get larger (but fewer) cherries.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
