vigorous tree , hopeful for the outcome

My tree has been in the ground only a short time, but it is leafed out and growing vigorously. I hope the cherries will be as luscious as advertised, but I don't expect fruit for a few years. So, it's a little early to tell if this was a good choice. Like all the other fruit trees in my yard (and previous gardens), I prune according to Ann Ralph's Grow A Little Fruit Tree.
