Other fruit promising bounty

Red cherry

I am particularly pleased with the onset of flowering in the orchard. The one cherry tree is going to be covered in blossoms and seems to be making a recovery. I am afraid that we ruined our cherry trees and plum tree by pruning at the wrong time of year. Stone fruit have to be pruned in later spring/early summer. Pruning in winter exposes them to stressors like rust and canker. I am afraid the yellow cherry has both. It is weeping rusty-coloured liquid from its joints. 

Still no sign of bud break in the Solaris, Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Easter Sunday will be held here and we have several guests coming. We were going to do a big Ukrainian-style Easter, but my hand surgery got in the way.
