We have a tree that we call the Christner tree out on the south side of Cedar Bluff lakehouse. Our friends Jim and Joanne Christner gave us this tree when we first built our house. They even had Matt Esch's crew from Esch Landscaping near Pigeon plant the tree for us.I really don't know for sure what kind of tree it is but I would guess it to be an ornamental cherry. The Christner tree blossoms a deep warm red-pink in late May or early June. It is a late spring show stopper. Here it is on a late winter afternoon. The red berries and the bare branches trace a serene silhouette against the cold backdrop of Lake Huron.
