That’s the old cherry tree in the back of our garden (the one that Henry used to climb when he was little). It is really old and the cherries still look juicy but they don’t taste good anymore so we leave them for the birds. We don’t have a choice with the higher ones anyway because the branches don’t support a ladder anymore.
But it still makes for a glorious spring feeling each April.

I am apparently not the only one who likes the old tree.










mmmm That brings back memories of buckets and cherries and homemade pie at Grandma’s. Yum. The fruit looks good enough to pick right now, Elke. 🙂

They are, unfortunately, not edible no matter how good they look.

Sad! I bet the birds eat them. 🙂

In CA we had two cherry trees and it was hard to beat the birds. They also loved my peach trees.

It is lovely. Let’s hope it’ll be with us for a long time. Even if the cherries are no longer edible.
