I didn't cherry as I already have a M. stellata which I got last year and is doing well though I doubt I will see any flowers this spring as it is still a bit young. very tempted though, get behind me satan.

That looks excellent Tel. Remember your soil will be OK for these. I do like late flowering sorts to miss the frosts.

We called in Aldi this afternoon, just the M, Stellata and M, Susan left, The OH liked one and i liked the other. So we finished up with two, now we really do not have the room so they will have to be pruned when they eventually out grow their space.

I would like Susan best, but Stellata should not be too big.
