My first cherry trees were nice with several cherry bunches. Now cherry 'trees' are the size of a bush with only two cherry bunches. Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I need to do to get a tree? Same problem with the blackberry bushes!
Have you harvested from either the cherry trees or blackberry bushes yet? They are both SO much smaller at their first cropping than subsequent harvests. Try collecting the fruit and then they should grow lots, and yet again after the second crop. Good luck:)
You get two cherries first harvest, then three the second, then four for the third.Quote:

This is normal. They're just babies:) The one you've harvested will grow, see my previous post. Good luck.
I'll watch them and repost when they are ready.
Attachment 17161I've posted a picture -new tree on left, revived tree on right original tree at top.
what's with the littler cherry trees and blackberry bushes? See blackberry bush in three sections...

The smallest size on all trees/bushes is the first harvest after planting, which yields the least fruit.
There is a bit of a growth spurt for the second harvest, netting larger trees/shrubs, which produce more fruit than the first stage.
Then there is another growth spurt, netting noticeably larger trees/shrubs and producing the most fruit.
After harvesting from the 3rd fruiting, the trees/shrubs will brown and you'll need to mark them with a ! to get neighbors to "revive or water" them. This will yield one last harvest that will produce an equal amount of fruit as the 3rd one did.
After this 4th harvest, the trees/shrubs will need to be sawed/chopped down and replaced with new baby trees/shrubs.
I hope this explains what you're seeing and what to expect further down the road.
I agree with Cricks, it all looks normal. They do take a loooong time to grow..... Next time you harvest will make a difference.:)
