Hi all,

I suspect these might be cherry trees as some stones were planted a
few years back. But then last year they just shot up and this year
have grown another 3 ft.

Can anyone confirm whether these are cherry tree or if not what are they?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,


They look very like cherries. Once they get growing they grow like
weeds so you might want to be quite sure you want more than one!



I'd say certainly cherry trees.
As Sacha says they will grow large,
I have a self sown cherry that now has a spread of at least 15 ft and is
about the same height at around 12 years old.
They should start to flower at around 6 year old.
