Prunus Virginiana

4 gallons of #chokecherries, gettin ready for the next step... 🍷🍷🍷🍾🍾🍾😋😋😋

Wow, Mum planted one this year , hoping it grows 👍

Nice! Ours on our side of the state are still dark red but they are getting closer to purple.

If you plan on picking them Lisa, you better be quick. The birds beat me to a lot of mine. Luckily, my trees are quite tall, and I let them have the top, where I can't reach @travelgirl25 😂😂😂

It is a win-win for both of you then. 😊 Picking chokecherries is on my list of things to do this week.

Was out pickin #chokecherry the other day, and almost squashed this little guy😳🐛🐛🐛 #caterpillar #wildlife

Oh yes @gjones ... Eating well on my chokecherry trees😩😤

Wow! He’s well camouflaged!

Check it out Tom @tkept ... My supplies should be here this week. Hopefully the birds won't get all my #purpleleaf-chokecherry #chokecherry before I can harvest. 🍷🍷🍷🍾🍾🍾 #montana #montanainsummer #nationalbisonrange

@SikoMa Good luck Dar. They look great. The birds did mine in but I’ve got to get rid of big rhubarb stalks so if I make wine I’ll make rhubarb I guess. It’s so hot here I’m bout to die. Hit 100 again. T Falls is a hot spot in summer but also warmer in winter. My other garden stuff is going crazy. Especially tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers of all kinds. Tom. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Wow! Beautiful pic!

😍😍

Maaaaaaybeeeee Laura. I sure am gonna try my hardest @columbiariver 😉😁😊

Thank you Tom. Not a 100° yet over here, but pretty darn close😩😰 @tkept

Oh no @gjones! They got 3 of my trees, but luckily, I have quite a few, lining our driveway😂. I have purple fingers to prove it.

Thank you @grelis @juliesgarden 😍😊

Oh yuck Laura @columbiariver 😩😳😰

My #chokecherry is full of #berries #cherries. Fingers crossed🤞🤞🤞, my #horse stays away. #toxictohorses 😳😳😳🚫🚫🚫🐎🐶🐱

@SikoMa Birds got to mine. That’s ok. I have chokecherry wine left from a couple years ago I can get drinkin on. 🤪🍷

NO WAY @tkept ... Wanna share some tips on makin wine, please🙏?

@SikoMa Sure. What do you need to know? I just email how I do it in a pretty lengthy email to @linfoster. I Would be happy to email you a copy as it’s too big to put on here. My email is tkept@yahoo.com

Yes, please, and thank you Tom @tkept. I just sent you an email😉

@SikoMa Got it and forwarded you some info.

Another pretty photo!

Beautiful little flowers 😍😍

#chokecherry goin all out. They line our driveway and one small pasture. Sadly, they are highly #toxic to horses, cats, and dogs😩😱🚫🐎🚫🐈🚫🐕 These did not bloom last year.

Just the thing you need on your land then Dar! 😱🙈 it’s very pretty though ☺️

Fantastic pic 📷Dar! Hopfully none of your animals try to test them out!

Sadly, my horses are pig @gjones . They eat EVERYTHING, including trees. This is the first year they have bloomed. So, I am hoping to make lots of jelly, jam etc🤞

And thank you Katy and Glyn @gjones 😍

Beautiful view. 📷
