Green cherries
The dwarf "Stella" cherry tree is producing fruit! I'm so excited. We planted it about 4 or 5 years ago, and I know it does take a while for them to produce.
It had lots of blossoms this spring, but they appeared during a rainy gray cold spell, so I worried there wouldn't be many bees about to pollinate them, but my worrying was for nothing. There they are: green cherries. Yay! In July they will be red. I can't wait.
In the Bible, or maybe it's in old Jewish law, they say that you should pick off the unripe fruit from a young fruit tree for... I think it's 5 years.... or is it 7 years? before you allow it to bear fruit. I suppose it makes the tree stronger. I don't have the patience for that. Our peach tree produced bushels of peaches the first year, who could resist? They were so yummy too. - Sorry God!
But do cherry trees count? Because they make you wait naturally.
Should I state the obvious?
You could say they're virginal.

Yay Jonna! There you are! Where have you been?
I can't even begin to tell YOU how jealous I am of your humor and writing ability! Why don'tcha just visit me for Pete's sake? What do I have to do, give you a mapquest map to my house? LOL.

Hugs to you too Sand. Love, KM
I love cherry trees. My parents had a nice row of them growing out front of their house, and I cannot adequately describe how torn up everyone was when they had to be removed (they were old and diseased, sadly).
