One of the things we were most excited about on our new property was the fruit trees. We love fresh-picked apples. There are 9 trees on the property that we have been studying. We thought that 6 of them were apple trees and 3 were cherry trees. Come to find out, 6 of them are cherry and 3 are plum. We are not sure if the plums are ornamental or edible at this point and all but one of the cherry trees lost their cherries. Below is the one cherry tree that still has cherries on it. Now we have to figure out when to pick them. They are a bit bitter, but maybe they are supposed to be that way and we just need to add sugar. Anyhow, the next few weeks I will be researching cherry trees and cherry recipes! I will try to post the recipes and take pictures if it turns out well. We took several pictures so someone else might not make the same mistake we did in identifying trees. It is possible that we could have saved cherries had we known earlier. Live it, learn it!
