Here is more information about each variety on this multi-grafted cherry tree:
Bing Sweet Cherry
The renowned, high-quality cherry. The Bing Cherry Tree yields uniform crops of huge, glossy, deep red almost black cherries. Fruit is juicy and sweet, perfect for snacking right off the tree. Originates from Salem, Oregon around 1875. Bing cherries Ripen in July.
Black Tartarian Sweet Cherry
Robust and productive! This popular, early-bearer blooms prolifically to yield large, cherry-red to purplish-black fruit. The sweet, rich flavor is irresistible; perfect for fresh-eating and juice. An ideal pollinator for other sweet cherries. The Black Tartarian originates from the Circassia region of what is now Russia, introduced to the U.S. in the late 1700s. Ripens in June.
Ranier Sweet Cherry
One of the most in-demand varieties, for both its taste and beauty. Large, yellow fruit with a half-red blush; birds are less attracted, due to the yellow half. Very firm, sweet flesh has a fine texture and distinct, outstanding flavor. Bud-hardy and crack-resistant, making it the cherry of choice for backyard gardeners. A cross of the Bing and Van varieties. Ranier cherries are excellent for baking, canning, freezing, and eating out of hand. Ripens end of May/early June, depending upon growing zone. Stores well.
Meteor Sour Cherry
The Meteor Sour Cherry Tree is cold hardy and an April bloom time brings welcome flowers early season. A heavy yield offering light flesh and bright red skin, these classic cherries are perfect for baking, juice, and eating off the tree. Meteor Sour cherries are bright red skin, clear/yellow flesh, bearing just 2-3 years after planting!
North Star Pie Cherry (Sour)
North Star is a heavy producer. The number of deliciously tart cherries from one of these trees will amaze you. The fruit is perfect for juice or any number of dessert recipes. The sturdy, vase-shaped tree is a beauty in the landscape. Bears just a few years after planting. Disease-resistant to brown rot and leaf spot. Developed by the University of Minnesota, introduced in 1950. Cold-hardy. North Star cherries ripen in June.
Plant this 5-in-one cherry tree in well-drained soil that is amended with good organic matter, and you will be rewarded with bushels of juicy cherries. A consistent producer, this self-fertile tree is a must-have addition to your home orchard or edible landscape.
