I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

John Burroughs

Cherries & Plums

I have two species of this family at this time. Both are shrubs. Both produce small fruit that are mostly pit that make wonderful jam, and otherwise of interest only to birds.

All the cherries have a brief fling of flowers in the spring. Indeed they are one first shrubs in spring to bloom.
