forest farm might be able to give you info on the rootstock????...but i would contact them during winter.. rather than during the busy season ....ken

"Cherry (Prunus avium) is a nuisance species and that is what your ill fated specimen had for a root system you may not want birds spreading it around there."

FINALLY! I have identified my weeping tree. Leaves and bark are EXACTLY like prunus avium. Thank you, Embothrium.

Thanks for the help will investigate when we get a better day.

I'm not aware of any weeping forms of Prunus avium being in circulation. Or even being mentioned.

Recalling the seedling Logan posted about a while back it didn't seem particularly weeping, just a bit lax, and nobody could give it a precise name at the time. I doubt one could make a definite id of P avium on the evidence available. Logans mystery tree

Oh,
that one is obviously a Hybrid x in-a-ditch 'on-the-roadside'

Not P. avium. Might be a P. pendula seedling.

I took some photos yesterday and I will post them in the Mystery Tree thread. It may not be completely weeping, but the form strikes me as unique, nothing like anything that I've ever seen before.

Ontairo, I have thought up a cultivar name already ;) Lol. I will watch it for a while before I register it or tr to sell them.

It
is a scam to set up a fake registry site to sell plants dug up from roadsides
as named cultivars.

Sell?! Anybody here want to buy it?

It hasn't blossomed yet and you don't know if it has any good Fall color, and you haven't propagated it. Whether it weeps or not is questionable. Looks like it's going to be quite awhile before you sell any....if you sell any.

In my opinion it's a ditch weed. Save yourself the trouble. There's nothing special enough to warrant growing it, other than for personal curiosity.

Logan - you might find this interesting. So you want to bring a new plant to market.

Thanks for the link, floral. Cherries never display fall color here, the leaves always fall off in august/september.

"It is a scam to set up a fake registry site to sell plants dug up from roadsides as named cultivars."

Seriously?

Get legal advice.

I doubt I will patent it. I haven't seen the flowers yet at this point, so I will wait some years before I try to sell or openly publicize it. Even if it doesn't have any really unique qualities, I will still keep it and maybe produce a few to sell (not on a large scale).

Causing
confusion again, anyway not my biz.
