Hi Nosey potter..I seem to have cherry tree's all around me lol.. I have some growing at the back fence (outside the garden on private property) and have a large one in my garden. The one in my garden produces fruit for sure because some of the shrivelled fruit are still hanging on it ! My wee tree looks different from the big cherry tree in the garden(as in the leaf colour)but seems to have the same sort of leaf as the one outside the garden.I am going to submit another pic of the tree outside the garden with some leaves on it lol and you can tell me what you think please :0) Or maybe i am just hoping its a wee cherry tree cause i would be a very happy person :0))

I'm with Nosey on this one - we have loads of cherry trees, and this first picture looks very like one to me. Could number two be Cornus of some description? Can't get the scale of the leaves. Number three definitely honeysuckle.

We have a 30' high cherry tree that bears thousands of the most luscious, sweet black cherries (Duroni - very famous round here) each year, and the first summer we moved here, we were going away just as the fruit was ready to be picked, so we told Daughter and her boyfriend to come and help themselves. They came 2 days after we left and found not a single cherry left. They couldn't believe that birds would strip a big tree so bare in a couple of days, and then they saw the imprints of the local cherry harvester's broad-based ladder in the soft earth beneath the branches. You would have thought they would have had enough of their own, seeing that the entire area is one big cherry orchard. It is not unknown that passing strangers will come into your garden, even while you are there, and just take stuff, on the premise that you have more than enough for yourself. If you are lucky, they will thank you before leaving. So not all blameable on the birds, Leigh.

I shall have to train the cats to bark! I looked out of the window this morning and saw that loads of our cats were behaving rather strangely, rushing up and down and round in circles, obviously disturbed, then I saw we had a deer (roe) standing in our drive, watching them all. It eventually gave two sharp barks and trotted away from the vegetable garden, which they regularly visit. Maybe the cats do earn their keep after all, and not just by catching vermin!
Yes, Leigh, I'm fine now thanks - just too busy with everything there is to do at this time of year. xxxx
