Found this on a graft of Montmorency that I added to my Lapins a few years back.
One stem… 2 cherries.

Raspberry Glow mountain laurel in bloom. Rain is trying to ruin it, but the closed buds are arguably prettier than open.
These photos of this watermelon are only 24 hours apart.
We are going to have a LOT of Seminole pumpkins.
Hn my gus melquist has set 1 fruit. The only other thing flowering at that time was my cutie pie bush cherry.
Anyone think it either is really limited self fertility or happened to cross pollenate? There were a really high density of blooms
Cayman Islands, mango fruits from a local tree. Some store bought fruits might have a higher brix when fully ripe, but nothing beats flavor and aroma of local mangoes.
First raspberry and strawberries of the year today!
I painted some rocks red to hopefully ḥave them squirrels mad.
There were a couple more Strawberries but we started snogging them before I thought of a picture!
Was beyond excited to see 15 mostly ripe cherries on the Carmine Jewel I moved to a family house this spring. This 3’ bush was new potted last spring, planted in summer, moved in fall and moved again this spring and looks super healthy and had great, tart cherries! Equally impressive was that the super fast chicken wire/netting protection 3 months ago has withstood the ravenous deer. Here’s to a nice long life in this spot and no more moves.
Serviceberries slowly ripening. For the first time, the birds are noticing them and trying to claim the tree. Eating them underripe or I won’t get any as they’ve already eaten half of what was there. The bottom of the tree had a lot ruined from the rain that caused them to burst open.
For some reason birds ignore or don’t notice some serviceberry trees some years but strip them of fruit other years. Along one street I walked the other day there was two trees the birds were eating the fruit from but a third down the block that they ignored enough that the fruit was littering the ground.
My Chicago Hardy is all lined up and growing nicely. Some of those shoots normally reach 9, 10, 11 ft by fall.
