Bird cherry scented in the Russian tradition
The most common sign of bird cherry is related to its flowering and cold. Our ancestors for centuries to notice that the flowering time of elegant trees coincides with the worsening weather.
Maybe it was before, but in 2019 a sign did not work. In my experience. Flowering bird cherry began in the heat, and the cold has come only now, after about a week. What do you think, to blame the global weather change? In our area it turned up even a tornado (the year has 4 cases), which was previously seen once a decade.
Even the weather is not all! By the cherry blossoms, you can predict what will be the summer:
- Flowers and leaves appear at the same time. Petals very much, from afar it seems that the tree completely covered with white snow? Not a good sign. It says about the bad, rainy summer.
- Conversely, if the flowers have appeared before the dissolution of the bird cherry leaves, summer promises to be hot.
Based on my observations, people's outlook on the wild cherry is not too comforting. You do not find?
Other signs associated with cherry
Attention, gardeners! An ancient belief says: cherry blossom - can begin to plant potatoes. But I would wait a little while: the official weather forecast foretells cold weather.
Perhaps some of my readers have fishermen. Well, what if? So, the bird cherry blossoms - a kind of signal that bream and pike are beginning to bite well. Therefore, we check the gear and off we go to the river with a thermos of hot tea!
Our ancestors believed that flowering cherry can help women and men suffering from unrequited love. It should lean against the trunk for a few minutes, and the tree will take grief. If the problem is familiar to you, and stand in an embrace with a cherry in the eyes of the public do not feel, you can just walk under the tree, breathing in its fragrance, and perhaps accurately collect a bouquet.
Bird cherry in the house: it is possible to put or not?
But to put a bird cherry at the house signs are not advised. Tree growing nearby, can lead to family scandals. When the bird cherry roots penetrate the construction of the foundation, it begins to "survive" the men of the house. Therefore, our ancestors planted a bird cherry in the far corner of the garden or behind a fence.

Is it possible to tear a bouquet of bird cherry and bring home?
Not. You've probably noticed that for some people the smell of wild cherry is pleasant associations, and others - a headache and disgust? It's not just a matter of taste. Blooming cherry contains many alkaloids. Combined with oxygen, they form volatile hydrocyanic connection - not the best chemical entity for the human body.
