Message: [QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 185291, member: 5841"] I gave our little Stella cherry a spray this morning. It's doing exceptionally well. I bought it on eBay at the end of 2018 (£33) and for its first year it lived in this big tub on the small patio. [ATTACH type="full" alt="P1020706.JPG"]62334[/ATTACH] Didn't do particularly well. It had some blossom, but much of it didn't get polinated despite the fact that the wisteria blooms near it attract a lot of bees. Then it got leaf curl and think the cherry count in the end was about four and the birds had them. At the end of last year, I moved it to here, between the azaleas to the side of the patio and the rockery. It has a huge number of blossoms developing, so I'm hoping that with regular spraying and more polination from the bees visiting the wisteria on the pergola on the back of the house plus covering with a net later in the year, we might get some cherries for ourselves.
