It’s a bit too cold up here in Alberta to grow the sweet cherry trees you’ll find in warmer climates (we do have gorgeous and delicious hardy sour cherries, however!). We’re not complaining in the least. Especially when the double flowering plums (Prunus triloba ‘Multiplex’) put on a show like they are this spring.

Chalk one up for having the perseverance and determination to trudge through that fiendishly long winter! What a beautiful reward! 🙂
Do you grow cherry trees or double flowering plums?
