Cherry blossom

We've a bumper show of blossom on our cherry this year. If they set to a fruit, the birds will be happy. We've had this tree for 30 years, it was grown from a cutting/graft by a friend, it has moved when we've moved, it spent 15 years in a less that perfect spot, and suffered some heavy prunings too. I think it's happy with it's current position though, as year on year we're getting more blossom and fruits. It's certainly one of our gardens heralds of Spring proper.

My cherry

I just know some bird's going to have my cherry. No, it's not a  1970's 'Carry On' line (and shame on you if that's what came to mind). I've had this Cherry tree for years (it was given to me by an old friend), every year is produces quite a few cherries, although none ever make it to fruition. This year, as usual, the fruits formed, and, as usual, the birds feasted, though one or two survived, and one, well hidden amongst the leaves, has made it well towards to adult cherry-hood. It may just get eaten by me....may!
