Hi Brandy
An important decision I realise I have followed your story, if that is the right word and have been deeply moved.
I start by saying i am no great expert but a keen gardener and recognise the deep symbolism a plant can have.
Cherry trees that have the beautiful blossom are an ornamental and so do not bare fruit.
How about an early fruiting plum that has a chance before the Caithness weather deteriorates. Such as Rivers Earl prolific. An attractive tree that produces fruit In July for most of the country so Late august for us probably.
Homebase had them in and they were self pollinating which would be necessary if it was in isolation. They would be easily available elsewhere.
Good luck. I really hope you find the correct plant to remember Tom.
