Cherry Trees

Bright, shiny, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Cherry trees are popular in pies, tarts, and ciders and add a sharply tart flavor to any dish. Cherries are native to Northern Africa and Turkey, the Cherry has been consumed since prehistoric times. Cherries are typically divided into two species: Sweet and Tart. Sweet Cherries tend to be a bit larger and are hardy to Zone 5 whereas Tart (or Pie Cherry) Cherries are smaller, more colorful, and hardy to Zone 4. One major advantage to Tart Cherries is that they are self fertile and do not require another cherry to pollinate.
