Cherry

[Gene Deci]

About a decade ago my club bought a dozen flowering cherry seedlings from Bill V. I took one and in just a few years it stated flowering as advertised. The only problem is that it breaks bud too early. It often starts flowering before I get it out of winter storage. So this year I took a picture. This was two weeks ago.

Nice! What type of cherry? It's been in a pot the entire time?

I knew the variety back when they were purchased but I didn't write it down anywhere. (Lesson learned) It was in an oversized plastic "grow" pot for two years. It has been in the pot pictured ever since.

Looks like fuji cherry.

Very pretty. I have several that jump the season too, if they are small, I bring them into the house to enjoy them!

Very nice one of my favorites. It looks like mine prunus incisa but I could be wrong. Again very nice.

Because it blooms so early, hardly anyone ever sees it. So, thanks for the 'likes'.

Since I posted my cherry, my other flowering tree felt left out. It is a crabapple purchased from a regular nursery in 2004. (Again I don't know the variety). It was probably available because of the bend in the trunk. It flowers vigorously every year at about this time.

I have another crabapple that I collected which is probably a nicer free but it never blooms.

Looks like fuji cherry.

Dead ringer for Prunus incisa 'Kojo no mai'
