I live near Writtle College in Chelmsford, Essex and they have a specimen bigger than the one pictured. I remember it well, it was early september and the tree was dripping in juicy black berries from crown to trunk, an absolutely incredible ammount of fruit. Well to cut a long story short i was fortunate enough to buy my very own specimens not long after this delightful encounter. I purchased two M.nigra and and an alba around 5 years ago, and I wasn't disppointed as both have since started fruiting profusely. My favourite is the nigra as the fruit is sweeter and the tree as a whole is just slightly odd looking, it looks about 100 years old but its only about 8-9 feet tall. They really have given me a lot of joy already and i cant wait to start making jams and beers from them in the near future. I bought all specimens from an online business http://floraselect.co.uk a while back. The service and advice was really great, and for those inpatient/busy folk out there delivery was the next day. Best of luck to you all What a great post, thanks so much and i agree entirely. I live near Writtle College in Chelmsford, Essex and they have a specimen bigger than the one pictured.
