As I mentioned before, when we moved here, our yard was pretty much a blank slate. There were a few attempts at landscaping, including a small weeping cherry tree planted on the left side of our house, which was probably put in right before the house was listed for sale. For a “beginning” photo of this little tree, see Beginning at the Beginning. We didn’t know what we were dealing with and so didn’t remove or transplant this little tree. In a very short amount of time, comparatively speaking, it grew to be a pretty large tree. But it added so much to our landscape that we just couldn’t take it down. When it was in bloom it was charming. When leaves developed, the branches drooped almost to the ground, forming a curtain of privacy that we could sit behind in the evenings and enjoy our world. By the time we noticed that it had black knot, a serious disease affecting plum and cherry trees, it was too late to save it.
