We planted a cherry tree when we moved into our house seven years ago. It has never produced more than a handful of cherries, and they were kind of yucky. We decided that our tree was just for decoration, not for produce. Imagine our surprise when we returned from our trip and found a tree COVERED with beautiful red cherries! The birds haven't gotten them, no bug bites, just yummy cherries! The kids climbed up and picked these two buckets full. And that's only about the bottom 1/4 of the tree. We are going to have to get a ladder to get the rest. We have never trimmed this tree because we never expected any produce! I guess all this rain is good for something!

We've had a lot people around here say this was a great year for cherries. We've even been offered some but unfortunately, not one of my children will eat them!
Wow!! Looks good! You should make a cherry pie, or two or three or......!!!
When you cook something up with those yummy things you better save me some!
I don't know why everyone thinks you will cook something out of them. Aren't they bing cherries? First you torment us with strawberries, now with cherries!!
