I planted two Morello cherries. After 1 year they fruited well. This second year they looked awesome. Then my neighbour decided that a piece of string instead of electric wire would be
enough to hold back his herd of cows...(do you see where I'm going with this?).
I tree down, the other survived and produced an abundance of fruit. But my rescue dog was trying to tunnel out of our main field to try and get to me while I was planting tomatoes. So, to save the
fence, I let her come to me.
She completely stripped the bark from the remaining tree to the height of 2 feet. Now. I will be buying a product that is supposed to heal such wounds, although a hospital may have better success, but fortunately I saved all the stones from this season's fruit and they are at present in damp
compost in the bottom of my fridge. I am just hoping they sprout and give
trees that have the same amazing flavour as my beautiful morellos.
I know that trees often revert to parents, but does anyone out there have any
experience with growing cherries, particularly Morellos, from stones? Morello cherry crumble.....jam...vodka.....oh my!
