A cherry, from the year you told us about the bundle of bargain fruit trees

It looks healthy! Some of mine sent up suckers from the rootstock and I've been too lazy to remove them.

Mine have as well but not been much of an issue as yet. I'm down to four as the nectarine and apricot didn't make it in pots long-term with my lacklustre care. The apple isn't up to much since it's swamped by other stuff. The cherry usually makes a few cherries for the birds but actually looks healthier than usual this year. The pear made its first few fruits last year but I waited too long to harvest so they weren't very nice. The plum has made fruit for a few years and we really like them.

The plot looks rich with potential. All you need now is time (in short supply in your case I expect) and agreeable weather.

It's strangely feeling achievable if the weather cooperates. Fingers crossed!
