LETS SHARE about the cherry tree

Most of the trees are grafted to control height and the ones that are not can be controlled by pruning.Cherry trees only need pruned every six years because they are an "old growth" producer.When pruned correctly,they should look like a spoked wheel from the sky.GPS Google earth.Some trees are so short they max out at six foot some 25 to 35 foot.Ideal for any location.The wood can in some cases be harvested for up to 9 dollars aboard foot or used as smoking chips for their robust cherry flavor.There is no need to mulch and they are highly disease resistant.However if fruit is to be harvested,the trees will need to be sprayed.Think of local ag business and nurseries,sawmill ,furniture stores with locally made wood products.Tree roots can penetrate  rough soil conditions and help control storm water runoff,just think of replacing our low spots with cherry trees instead of the scrub brush that is currently there ,flood plains are instantly transformed to beauty marks,property value will rise and our air will be cleaner than ever.
