Bye Bye Minnie Royal

There was a cherry tree I got last May. It fared pretty well over the summer of 2014. The Minnie Royal eventually died but I kept taking care of it thinking in due time the tree would bud out. I chose a weak one because I thought I could save it. The cross-pollinator was bought at the nursey up the street on sale. The "Royal Lee" is doing beautifully in my patio near the fruiting mulberry tree. He is lonely because there is no one to pollinate his beautiful white delicate blooms. Anyway. I haven't blogged in a while because I have been so busy with other things. The stephanotis is getting ready to bloom as well.

I bought two to place it in two different climates. The one at school just grew and grew. The one at home grew but it started to send out buds. The school one got attacked by scales and mealy bugs. I brought the school one back home after a severe cut back and I am taking good care of it. It has growth buds now.
