Not to be confused with the respiratory condition known as croup or the croup of a bird. The rump is anterior to the animal's tail (here on a draft horse) The rump or croup, in the external morphology of an animal, is the portion of the posterior dorsum that is posterior to the loins and anterior to the tail. Anatomically, the rump corresponds to the sacrum. The tailhead or dock is the beginning of the tail, where the tail joins the rump.
Pick ground cherries when they fall to the ground. Lift the branches of the plant to see the ground cherries hiding in the papery, buff-colored husks. Allow the ground cherries to remain in the husk, unrefrigerated, until you're ready to use the fruit. When left in the husk and stored in a cool, well-ventilated room, ground cherries become sweeter and last for up to six months.
Pollen Requirements. All sour cherries are self-fruitful, meaning you can grow one tree from seed and it will bear cherries, but sweet cherries require pollen from a compatible cherry tree planted within 100 feet. Cherry tree varieties grow blossoms, produce pollen and yield cherries at different times.o stratify a cherry pit outdoors, sow it in a furrow no deeper than 1 to 2 times the width of the pit. Cover the pit with soil and put 1 or 2 inches of sand over that to prevent the soil from forming a crust on the soil as winter cold stratifies the seed.
