Ah thanks for pointing that out and not flaming! To rec.gardens.edible I go!

Up, up and away!

There is a big difference between orchids, (the flowers) and orchards,
(the
place fruit trees are planted). You may get an answer to your question in
this group which generally discusses orchids (the flowers), and it may
even
be a good one from people who grow both fruit trees and orchids. Ask it
in
rec.gardens or rec.gardens.edible and you may get many really good answers
from people who are specifically into the fruit trees.

You are not the first person to make the orchid/orchard mistake. :-)

Hi,

I'm new to this group and gardening, having just bought my first house.
I
am
currently attempting to tame my back garden (the previous owners had
done
nothing for a whole year), once I have expanded the lawn into the old
allotment and border I would like to plant a cherry tree. But I am not
sure
about what type of tree or the best place to plant it. I want something
that
will stay pretty small (under 12ft) and will withstand the Scottish
weather.
Any advice on verities to look at or where to plant it?

Cheers,

Daniel
