    I've no idea why it fruited as much or why the fruit wasn't nabbed by the birdies humans certainly found them snaffleable (sp).
    It wasn't an old tree, we planted bought it from some garden center, it grew for a year or so then it fruited like bonkers every year as it grew a bit taller.

    Damned if I know where it was getting pollinated from either as I never noticed other trees around.

    Had a neighbour who made jams too, had a shelf full every year

    Old house had a lovely cherry tree, some dark variety, fruited like mad every year, used to give carrier bags away to anyone that wanted them

    That's the place. Korea foods, just up past the B&Q off the A3. Fantastic shop. I got a big bag of frozen salt and pepper squid as well, that's another favourite of mine.

    I eat cherries because I like cherries. If I just wanted a massive tulip I have a selection of prescription laxatives to choose from.
