i have lost a peach and a plum tree sadlysad,not through disease just old age,but i have a thriving small 6ft cherry tree smile i was thinking would i be able to plant a cherry pip and get the same sort of tree does anyone have any ideas,i only have a small garden and would like to replace my 2 trees with one there are no other fruit trees in my area so it would have to be self fertile confused

It will take years for your tree to grow from a pip, & even then you might not get any fruit from it, a lot of fruiting trees are grown on a host trunk, grafted on

Oh I daren't go near garden centres lol I come home with the car packed to the gunnels lol, make sure if you do buy a cherry tree that it's a dessert one, sweet, not a cooking one

I have a large garden & love trees so am always planting them, my daughter calls it a jungle smile, as I tell her It's the way I like it, up to her what she does with it when she inherits it lol, mind you she seems to be coming round to my way of thinking, she bought me another acer the other day smile, it was in the bargain corner of a garden centrte, all it needed was a trim & a good drink, has actually already got 2 new leaves on
