>>Ah, it took me half an hour to remember what I wanted to ask you, as the day is coming soon... cherry blossom, nice, attended a couple of times (japanese community in Virginia Beach is still strong) but now I realized that I don't know the main fact. Is it sweet or sour cherry? As they are separate species.

Then I'd say sour (višnja), they are more closely related to those wilder sorts. Though the japanese embassy here was giving away saplings on the day a few years ago, and all the reporters translated those as sweet cherry (trešnja), but that could be by pure inertia, as it's always translated so.

Well, waiting for mine to blossom... in a few weeks. And then to make brandy of them - mostly the sour, having more sugar, but actually the craziest result I got was with 25% sweet and 75% sour... Because of the names, I call that brandy hare trišnja :).
