Thanks Stefan. I’ll have a closer look and consult Mr. Wikipedia. There’s a cherry tree in the garden too, so I can compare them, as soon as I get through the brambles…

Anybody in the area still work with horse teams? What about wood cutters? And finally, I’ve never heard of a pear tree reaching 60 meters. Wow.

Cherry is such a lovely wood, can’t wait to see what you do with it when it is seasoned.
