Great show. Now I want a milkshake!
Very handy as I have a sour cherry tree in my backyard that has about two dozen cherries on it (it’s a young tree we planted two years ago). That sour cherry milkshake is calling my name…
You are soooooo welcome in my tree house….stop by the next time you are visiting Vashon.
You are so lucky, these are so rare in Australia, I’ve never seen them fresh, but have only heard of one grower. I adore sour cherry jam and the dried babies.
I grew up in Lithuania and sour cherries are.. well.. just cherries for me. They grows in most gardens and my granma had a mini-forest of cherry trees, though we still had to compete with starlings on first-come-first-served basis.
