Cherries 
Cherry trees thrive on almost any soil which is well drained but not where water 
stands about the roots. In extremely wet years they should be sprayed regularly 
with a fungicide to keep the foliage free from spot disease.

good. Tree vigorous and healthy; very 
resistant to leaf diseases. A promising

much like it.
