Ask for trees on dwarfing or semi dwarfing rootstocks, they will stay small enough to make cageing or netting a
practical proposition. Just check you're not in a frost pocket or if you are see if you can make a route for cold air
to drain away. The trees are tough as old boots but spring frost or late snow can catch the blossom.

Really dim question here, but we've got what looks like a very young
cherry tree (only a few branches) that's budding leaves right now.
There's been no sign of blossom, is it possible it's still to come?
Last year it produced the grand total of one cherry.
