Dying Invasive Plants
Autumn Olive is considered invasive in some locations. The cultivars I have planted have been the opposite, barely hanging onto life because of various problems, which I think are winters and cankers.

Evan’s Cherry Delivers
The Evan’s Cherry is starting to become plentiful on Kleckner Oasis because of all the suckers I am moving. This is the mother and is full of cherry blossoms. Last year she produced a good crop, so hopefully she starts producing bountiful crops regularly.

2 of the Carmine jewel Cherry Bushes I have are loaded with a good flower display. These bushes are getting too big for the little area I gave them. I will have to start pruning them to help control their size, as I thought their height and spread wouldn’t be much more than 6 feet.
Iowa Plum Thicket
The Plums are full of blooms right now. These Plum thickets keep getting bigger and bigger.
