When I had a cherry tree I never got to taste the cherries. The birds would eat every last one and leave the seeds hanging from the trees.

Have you ever gotten to eat your cherries?


Do what you can where you are with what you have.

yes Enrique, you must resize your photo or i will have to remove it. max size on this board is 640x480. you can resize it in photobucket and the refresh the page when you come back here to make sure it is done.


and tam, i don't like the big pics even on high speed, i don't like scrolling over to see the whole thing.

Have you ever gotten to eat your cherries?


No.. I never have! I think the birds eat them before we get to them..

I am thinking of putting the bird netting over it this year.. but, I am not even sure what kind of cherry tree it is.. I wish there was some way to tell.. I don't want to spend the money on the netting if I am not going to like the cherries anyway.. ya know? why

but you can use the netting for something else if you don't like the cherries.

My tree grew from a peach pit that fell off my dads peach trees.....they grow VERY slowly when you grow them yourself like that. But it grew a lot last summer....I'd say it's about 3 1/2 feet tall now---grew about a foot just last year.

I guess if you buy them already established from the store it wouldn't be too bad.....they'd already be out of the "baby" stage.

The peach,plum,nectarine,& damson fruits are growing.I'm having a bit of trouble with peach leaf curl on the peach& nectarine trees. I pull out & burn affected leaves.
