A TALE OF TWO CHERRY TREES (3)

My surviving cherry tree is now over three metres high and has lots of branches, which suggests that it likes the ground it is standing in. Last year it gave a minimal two cherries; this year there are more.

The problem is that "more" still means only about six. That is either three times better than last year or still not a very good result for a four-year old tree. As an optimist, I am choosing to concentrate on the former!
