When someone repeatedly calls another person a troll for having the temerity to disagree with them on an established point of fact taking the piss seems to me to be quite a gentle response.

Holy moly. How many more discussions are gonna be ruined by this nonsense?!
‘They are cherries but my lens is wide angled’ has got to be the actual cherry on top of this massive claptrap cake!
Oh my!
Time for a GWF sabbatical until it all dies down or gets bored.
Poor OP!
They are the size of cherries. But they look larger in the close up because my lens is a wide angled lens, stupid. I was answering someone who said they looked huge.

It is very clear to anyone that this is a bunch of online bullying trolls hacking at someone honestly helping people.
It is a ego boosting competition for the stupid trolls. Whatever I say, making up BS yelling: "Don't do it! Don't do it." Most of the time the negative yelling harming the needs of the person looking for help.
It’s not helping people to suggest they can plant an ornamental flowering cherry and get fruit in late September to provide wild birds with autumn and winter food.
It would be helpful to know enough to suggest that crab apples will produce nectar in the spring for insects and fruit in the autumn for the blackbirds, thrushes, fieldfares and redwings.

I have, however brought up cherry trees to this size from small nursery trees. They provide beautiful blossoms at the onset of spring, lifting one's sprits. Early nectar for bees coming out of hibernation, and attracting masses of butterflies -- life savers for them. Birds - blue tits. blackbirds etc. flock to the tree for shelter. And then squirrels and birds flock to the tree to eat the cherry fruits; hedgehogs and foxes eat the fruits that fall.
All the better if crab apple trees help the same way, too. Plant one by all means.

But presumably you've seen an apple … possibly even eaten some … and surely observed enough to be able to see that size isn’t the only difference between an apple and a cherry?
I mean, I expect you wouldn’t mistake a lettuce for a cabbage … would you?

The man is clearly an idiot, but what worries me, is that inexperienced gardeners might listen to him. The amount of total rubbish he has written on various threads, in such a short time, must be a record.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
To repeat, I have not looked at this tree closely until today, not from less than several meters away from my window. I have not seen fruit on the ground last season, and it looks like it is not yet time for them to fall this season. They likely get eaten as soon as they fall. If I had looked at them with any attention I might have noticed.
