Post is to keep up with these Okame cherries delivered 10-3-2023 watered well and very damp soil, sat on screened in porch in morning sun for now came from Tennessee.
I find cherries to be very brittle in the sense that they don't bend well, but snap instead! Good luck with yours.
Do you plan on planting them out and letting them grow?
I have not decided, the wife wants 2 of them in the front yard. I told her we will see. The branches seem to be stiff but a little pliable. Maybe if you just take time with them. Apply water over the branch for a few days and bend it slowly.
