Bringing fruit on board at embarkation

Out of curiosity, HaveDog, do you know what variety your cherry trees are?  I’m hearing killer things about this year’s Champagne Corals and Black Republicans.

Yes I’ve Lapin, Stella and Montmorensey.  The Lapins made it onboard. I’ve been growing a small organic urban orchard (34 trees) for the last 13 years and this is the best crop of cherries we’ve ever had.  It is normal to get about 30% fruit drop prior to ripening but this year there was almost none. DH is picking and putting up the crop while I’m on this B2B. Thank goodness we got the bird netting up two weeks ago. I grow a lot of sunflowers for my birds and they are allowed some of the blueberries, apricots and peaches but I do deny them the cherries. Lol.
