I was walking home from the station the other day admiring a
particular house where the garden is looking as good now as it did in
the summer. A real feat of planning.
Naturally they had some cherry trees that were in flower, and it set
me wondering.
Do winter flowering cherries go on to produce fruit, and if they do
when is the fruit visible?
Many thanks to anyone who can satisfy my idle curiosity.

Certainly the (sterile) double-flowered ones don't, and I've never
seen any on the singleflowered.

I don't think I've ever encountered a cherry flowering at this time of
year. Are these true cherries, and are there any variety names I can
search on to find out more?

Ours has never produced fruit, but at the moment it is a mass of blossom
