    No it’s not illegal war garden . Just that I couldn’t use that much alcohol. I’m not a drinker . I would rather have the actual cherries and make jam .

    He gets misted every day but shell maintenance is all his own work.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    given they only flower and don't produce any fruit
    flowering cherries only have one use besides looks
    and that using blossoms to makes sweets or sake.

    I wonder if this thread is going to go the way of the OP's other threads.

    I'm guessing yes, see as though the bitchy, sarcastic replies were right from the off 😞
