Spring is here, the cherries are in bloom!

My river cherries are in full bloom, and they are beautiful! When ripe they are like bing cherries, and picked early they are red and sweet. I got them from Jackson and Perkins, and they are more of a bush than a tree. The fruit grows under the leaves so the birds don't see it. That is a pear tree behind the cherries, if it doesn't freeze, we will have a lot of good fruit this year!
