On the other hand, the tartness is a nice counterpoint to the usual sugar of jams and jellies. I used to like to add wild plums to my plum jam, just for that extra edge.

Well south compared to northern Minnesota. My ornamental chokecherry has the same great fragrance. My neighbor lady is always disappointed that my tree never puts out fruit. I guess the labels on the trees are really important to read. My peonies are really late this year. There are some that just are not going to bloom from winter conditions but people south of our town are all blooming. L.
