I'll have to take a pic of my Montmorency Cherry tomorrow. It was just a stick when we planted it,and it's every bit of 15 feet tall now, it has a lot of fruit on it this year as well, not as much as last year, but like the Nanking, I think the fruit is bigger.

When I was growing up, we had a Cherry Tree in the front yard. Every year when the fruit got ripe, my dad would hook up the elevator to the tractor, and put it into the tree so I could just walk up the elevator and pick to my hearts content. My mom would pit them, then I'd make a pie for my dad. He said my mom put too much sugar in hers... he liked his cherry pie so you could still taste a little bit of the sour in the cherries. :-)

Having Cherries on the trees brings back good memories. :-) Hubby doesn't like his pies as sour as I like mine. :-) But, he doesn't refuse a slice. :-)

Here is a picture of blooms... are you getting blooms on yours? It seems that mine would bloom, but not as heavily as they do now.
