Default cherry trees

The birds here dont bother that they are yellow or unripe they just eat the
lot

I am in the U.S. and we have cherries that are yellow when ripe. I dont
think they are as sweet as the red ones, but the birds let you pick them,
because they dont know they are ripe. Could you find them there, or get
someone to produce one for you there?

Just a thought.

cherry trees soon get very large and unless you can net them totally you
will find every blackbird in the district will descend on it long before
cherries are ripe
All you will get is a mass of cherry stones on your lawn
After 28 yrs we removed ours last year

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
