Yes, mine is very piffly in the fruit department.

Mine is in the ground, front garden and is currently in blossom. The good thing is that it has grown to just about level in height with the fence and complements the wood.

I do realise it will take a while to get the fruit 😁

Yes, I have a weeping dwarf tree that's an early flowering prunus and is now newly in bloom. It has always(about 11 years at least) been in the open ground, part shaded under a deodar and has done very well. Has needed no attention apart from cutting out suckers of wild cherry.

DH bought ours from QVC, Plants2Gardens. He put them in pots and they stand along the front of the house. This one is in flower, the other 2 are not as far along.

Be interested to read comments on this thread as I have just bought x2 in pots from Hilliers on line.
Thought they would look nice in spring , but planning to put into pots.

I’m in the process of having my garden redone.
Basically the bottom bit of the garden is going to be for wildflowers, I’m getting the pond moved over to the side and the rest of it is going to be lawn
I am having some plants put in the ground and some in pots and wondered if anybody has any experience of dwarf cherry trees where is the best place to get them and do they do better in a pot or in the ground?
