*Michael: I have no doubt that the jam from black cherry would be excellent; I'd mix mine with juneberries/serviceberries and other fruit.*Claude: I find your description of P. pensylvanica very interesting - I was afraid of that... A lot of sources say it's a small shrub-tree but I didn't think so. As for being too high to pick, as with P. serotina,I bet if it were grown in full-sun, like a persimmon tree, it would sport branches baring fruit low-enough to pick; maybe it would stay less then 25' in full-sun?SteveArchive powered by MHonArc 2.6.24.
