Black Tartarian Cherry Tree

Black Tartarian cherry trees are a heritage variety cherished for their deep red, almost black fruit and intensely sweet flavor. The cherries have tender, juicy flesh that makes them ideal for fresh eating or adding to desserts. An early-season variety, Black Tartarian ripens in late spring to early summer, providing one of the first tastes of the cherry harvest. This tree is not self-fruitful and serves as an excellent pollinator for other varieties, such as Bing or Craig’s Crimson. Thriving in sunny, well-draining locations with moderate chill hours, Black Tartarian cherry trees are vigorous growers and produce abundant blossoms in spring. With its combination of rich flavor, historical charm, and utility as a pollinator, Black Tartarian is a valuable addition to any orchard. Semi-dwarf on Maxma rootstock.
