    A good 12 years ago I bought a flowering cherry from Bridgemere Garden Centre in Cheshire for 99p!!!, it was only about 10-12" tall, grafted and sold as "dwarf", it was flowering when I bought it too.

    Now over a decade later my vertically challenged cherry tree is exactly what it said on the label ~ "dwarf", it's one of my favourite plants in my garden. It's in a stone pot of only about 3-5lt and still only about 2ft tall.

    The picture is a little blurred, but I'll post another when its in full bloom, it's just started now...:dbgrtmb:

    Just can't remember its name, having lost the label ???:scratch:
