Flowering Rootstock Growths from Ornamental Cherry.  3.3.16

El Dorado Peach In Bloom.  3.3.16

Shiro Plum Bloom, Almost Open.  3.3.16

Some of the trees in my old yard in town.  The rootstock for the 50? year old Kwanzaa? cherry has nice ruffled, but single, pink flowers.  Much earlier than the main tree.  I leave those there for the nice flowers.

I grafted both Kwanzaa and rootstock onto separate wild cherry root stocks.  The wild cherry root stocks are probably sweet cherries.
