This is my 2nd such cherry tree. The kids grew up & moved out - thought I'd not want it anymore. Wrong! The first I had was a huge producer of cherries from the 2nd year to the 20th! No bugs, no problems with birds to speak of and so the 2nd tree is following the same pattern. It's going into its 3rd season and loaded in cherries. I make delicous jam, pie and also dehydrate them for breads, cookies, salads, and great in hot breakfast cereals.

I was very surprised with this little tree! I received it in the spring of 2010 and it was only about 12" tall. I fully did not expect anything for at least 2 or 3 years, but to my absolute amazement, the very.same spring I planted it, it only grew a few inches but had foliage and even fully ripened fruit! Unfortunately... the birds got to them first. :)

I have planted 2 of these trees. Grew great, blossom like crazy but not one cherry. Frustrating. I'll buy another variety but not these again.
