Hello
My name is Jerry Hendershot, and I am new to Permies.com. I live in Boise, Idaho and have enjoyed an ancient Bing Cherry that produced bountifully for years...and then one year, crash, the tree came crashing down, with lots of dead wood at the heart of the trunk. Two years later, I noticed 3 new cherries growing...they were fragile saplings, but without understanding much about how this works, I nurtured them along...all three are now about 12 feet tall or so and look good, but no fruit or blossoms.
Questions: Are these suckers or seedlings? Do I need to get them regrafted and if so how do I do that? If they are suckers, will they produce? If they are already so tall, did I miss my window for cultivating them as the children of my once proud and beloved cherry tree...Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Jerry
