The cherries are dark, dark red. The original tree blew down in a storm many years ago(according to neighborhood legend) and the three trunks we had when we moved in were suckers that had been growing for a long time. We've since had to cut down two of those three. We cut down all the suckers but one healthy one this year and I hope it takes over well. The second tree appears to have sprouted on it's own. <br />Anyway, I'd certainly recommend planting cherry trees. It doesn't take too long before they start producing.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-15774595293012266992011-07-11T12:27:21.250-05:002011-07-11T12:27:21.250-05:00So jealous you have a cherry tree.

Would you suggest planting one?JULIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597015941965130337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-85682117063736266552011-07-10T23:22:09.234-05:002011-07-10T23:22:09.234-05:00Over a month since a post.

For some reason they don't bother with these trees. In fact, when we first saw this house it was September and the trees were full of cherries - and way overripe I'd guess. That's about 2 or 3 months past when they should have been picked! <br /><br />They don't go after the raspberries either. I guess we're just really, really lucky!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-12659627771379954002011-07-10T19:58:53.236-05:002011-07-10T19:58:53.236-05:00Yep, looks like a mans handywork.
