Exposure: Full zun. Zone 5
Soil: Average well-drained soil with circumneutral pH (6.5) is best, but tart cherries will tolerate more acidic soil.

Tart cherries are attractive, easy to grow small trees with abundant white spring flowers, attractive dark green leaves, shiny bark, and delicious red fruit in early to mid June. Tart cherries are well adapted to our region and much more reliable fruit producers than sweet cherries, with fewer disease problems. Self-fertile.
Landscape uses: Use as small specimen trees or in the home fruit orchard.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Fruits can be eaten fresh, dried, or put into pies, jams, jellies or juices. Highly nutritious fruit with noted anti-inflammatory properties that are good for arthritis.
