Depends on the species and age of the cherry tree and whether it's a wild cherry or a domestic cherry, ornamental or fruiting; Some are gnarled, some straight, some weep, others bushy with branches stemming from close to the ground, some very sparse. I went for this type of orchard tree:

I've basically taught myself a lot, and I've always liked sketching plants and things and I live in the sticks, so plenty of places to go sketch from! But I got specifically into sumi-e during my year out in Japan 2007-2008. I tentatively say we had lessons. It was more like we got a weekly demonstration and a sheet of instructions and figured it out ourselves the rest of the time.
