I can't say that I have noticed Flowering Cherry setting seed before.
Or is it a species that relies on cross pollination?

Anyway not only was the late flowering of the cherries this year one of
the most splendid I have seen, there are cherries ripening for harvest
now.

The only trouble is they taste ghastly. I went down to the local
supermarket to try a real one (they are not a favourite fruit item. I'm
more your pork and beans type) and all I could taste was something
remeniscent of water.

All in all an excellent year for trees.

Despite the OT'd -ness, I've got to agree - my apple tree has gone mad!

What on earth is OT about the thread? Or should this subject be the
domain of armant manufacturers. I know that the various weather bureaux
got their start from things military. But that is not what god had or
has in mind for us.

BTW shake the tree to get some fruit off or the apples will all drop
and be small. And next year you will have none.

It's not really weather is it? But I conceed it's a function of the
weather - but then again this'd make pretty much everything On Topic if we
let it

Nature's already taking care of it - each strong wind brings down a little
fruit leaving more room for the rest...

It's a good job that I don't know you are trying to be silly at my
expense or I would tell you to go fwc yourself. The reason the
flowering cherry put on such a good show (and in my ignorance) managed
to set seed, was the weather this spring.

We have had a fantastic crop(best ever) of cherries on our tree this
year which were enjoyed by my daughter, her friends and the local
magpies, sadly all gone over now before the wasps got a look in.
