CHERRY TREE


Here at TIPS FROM A MAN, we always emphasize eating fresh natural foods.  Fresh fruits are always at the top of the list.  The only thing better than fresh fruit, is fresh fruit grown on your own tree!  Check out these cherries.  They are amazing.  We anticipate eating these cherries all year.  We are fortunate to live where we can grow fruit.  We also grow peaches, and are trying to start apples, plums and pears.  We have had success with raspberries as well.

Depending on your individual living situation and climate you may not be able to grow your own fruit.  But if you can, please, make the effort.  It is worth it.  Home grown fruit is so tasty and there is just an amazing feeling you get from growing your own food.

We are getting the hang of watering, fertilizing and pruning.  We haven't had to spray the trees.  Our biggest challenge is being able to pick the fruit before the birds figure out that the cherries are  ripe.  Apparently birds like fruit too.

So here is a TIP FROM A MAN... grow all the fruit and vegetables that you can.  The work is therapeutic the taste is great and quality is without compare.

Enjoy life!
