You run around trolling me since I got here: "What has she said? What has she said? Has she said Zig? I make up a Zag from spite. Gang, come here and Zag." "Zag1" "Zag2" "Zag3" . . . Much of it is made up nonsense, made up to spite me. Only some kind of self ego boosting female antagonism of spite, no care about the thread writer's needs.
I used to belong to National Trust conservation groups where I lived, in Oxford, Harrow, and Cambridge. I used to volunteer, cleaning up streams and fields, helping injured foxes & creatures, growing wildflower meadows for pollinators on public land etc. . . Now I only get newsletters and buy wildlife things from the Trust because I don't have time to spare. And I help people and creatures under stress in the spirit of the National Trust. It is my hobby and interest I enjoy. Not having to get trolls to leave me alone.

and yet you can't tell a cherry tree from an apple tree?
This is the last comment I'm making here. Do not lecture me about abuse. If you'd been on the receiving end of it, both mental and physical, you wouldn't behave the way you're behaving @Jac19. Get help.
Thank you for your kind comment on a previous page @CostumedVole.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

The abuser always twists his/her own abuse and behaviour around and projects onto the victim, who has been doing nothing but the right things and minding one's own business, just like this. A bog standard pattern and an extension of the abuse.
> and yet you can't tell a cherry tree from an apple tree?
The fruits on this tree are the size of cherries. I have not had this kind of tree with tiny fruits on my land before. All my apple trees have been with fruits the size close to a fist. I have done Machine Vision AI work on clients with massive orchards and they have all been trees with fruits the size of a fist or a tennis ball or at least a golf ball. I HAD NOT LOOKED until the person asked me to today. I had no reason to look.
And therein lies the problem @Jac19. It sounds as if you have made a genuine mistake as you have planted cherries before and know what they look like and seeing a large tree with tiny fruits you assumed it was a cherry, a tree with which you are familiar. From that you felt confident enough to give advice to someone. You may be confident but your knowledge has gaps. I think everyone here is just trying to help you to see that there are so many people here qualified (through experience, through a deep knowledge of plants) to give useful advice that it would be better for you to just watch and learn for a while. Before you arrived on the forum if someone misidentified a plant and someone else came along with a correct identification the person who had got it wrong would simply say something like - ah, yes, of course; I stand corrected. It was all nice and civilised. All gardeners are learning all the time and for me this forum is a great way to learn. My advice would be to stand back for a while and just see what everyone is saying, listening and learning.
You are being far too kind @didyw, @Jac19 has enormous gaps in her knowledge and should really not be attempting to answer other peoples questions. But no doubt she will continue to talk rubbish and bully other experienced and knowledgeable posters.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

A perfect answer, didyw. Let’s hope it’s read and digested.
No, stupid. I gave advise on the cherry blossom trees I had planted and brought up in the past.
The tree in my current place did not factor into it. It is irrelevant. Somebody else planted it and it came with the property. I never paid any attention to it until someone wanted to see it here.
