When we planted our cherry tree in spring 2005, we were a little disappointed that it didn’t blossom and that there wasn’t any fruit in the first year.  It probably had a lot to do with the shock of being transported from the nursery in our car and then transplanted from its tub into our front garden. 

This year it has given us a small bowl of cherries that taste great.  They are a pale variety called Vega that are every bit as sweet as the more prevalent red ones.
