Three of them---and they were crowded, leaning, and unhappy. We thinned them out, cut down one and sprayed for a few years so that we could harvest apples. <br /><br />What a mess those trees were! The apples were not edible--too many bruises, bees, half-eaten by birds, squirrels, and bugs. They would drop all over the yard and cause a mess...along with the danger of bees stinging should you step on one. <br /><br />We ended up removing them. <br /><br />So, I'm guessing some smarty pants arborist came up with a solution for folks like us.

People now purchase canned and frozen cherries, but still enjoy the beauty of the white blooms.
