DAG, is this what your neighbours small black cherry looks like before it blooms?  A friend has several in her garden, also one of the neighbours, and they don't know what it is. I took a pic and posted it up on GC and it was ID'd as possibly being this - The very shiney leaves lead me to thinking that it is Prunus serotina.

Just checked it on a Florida site, and since the stones or seeds need to be chilled for some months before they sprout, that is probably why the ones you gave me never did anything, either here nor in Florida, DAG. sob! I think I need seedlings. www.floridata.com/ref/P/prun_ser.cfm |

 Sorry kedi but I don't know of any neighbours that have a small black cherry tree?

What is that fruit that you pick off the neighbours tree, the one that overhangs / overhung the back of your garden? You have often made pies with it?
You also sent me some of the pips but I had no luck growing them, either here nor in Florida.

A few days after saying that I'd had no luck growing the Cherry Plum trees from the stones that you sent me, DAG, I discovered the pot I'd put them in, fairly covered by another plant, and all 4 of the stones that I planted here had taken and were growing!  Two of them are 25cm tall, one is 16 and the fourth is 13cm tall. I am thrilled and am now deciding on the best place to plant one or two of them. I'll give others away.  PS - I've altered the title of this thread |

Glad they took kedi, yes as they grow to at least 20 feet high, you don't want too many! ;D  |
