I'm sure you're right Janet. Everything checks out perfectly except one thing ~~~~ everything I saw said it likes moist ground & this is up on high ground where it's dry (I think). I say I think because we recently bought the property & are not that familiar with the ground there or in this zone as we previously lived 2 zones south in the flat coastal part of Fl.
I have not yet dug into the ground there or put post hole diggers down so it may not be as dry as I assume.
Honestly I'm so sure you nailed it that I'm inclined to put it in the database now. I could always request it be removed on that .0001% chance it turns out not to be the black cherry.
What do you think Janet? Dave? Jim?
And finally; that bit about the moist ground --- we've all seen many plants that grow quite well in soil conditions other than what is listed for it.
Yes, cause & effect is fascinating isn't it Janet? Nature is so much smarter than we are. We humans failed to take that into account & have screwed up the balance.
