Default New house - Cherry Tree fruit edible?


Tom wrote
I'm looking for a bit of advice - we've just moved house and in the
garden are two large cherry trees, and the fruit are red to deep red
and look just like the cherries I'd find at the supermarket. Are they
most likely edible?

I don't know much about fruit trees, and was wondering if there are any
non-edible cherry trees in the UK before I try sampling them! If so how
could I go about identifying what I've got?


Try one or two Tom and you will see if they are eating cherries or not. They
won't poison you, just be very "sharp" if they are the Morello ones, good
for cooking though.
