Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sweet cherry trees and sour cherry trees?
Sweet cherries (Prunus avium) are grown primarily for fresh eating, requiring specific pollinators and more time to yield fruit. In contrast, sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) are smaller, hardier, and self-fertile, making them ideal for baking and preserves. Both types offer distinct flavors and growing advantages depending on your space and culinary goals.
Fruiting cherry trees are grown specifically for harvest yield, while ornamental cherry trees are cultivated for dramatic spring blossom displays. Ornamental varieties produce non-edible or negligible fruit.

What is the difference between fruiting cherry trees and ornamental cherry trees?
Chill hours are the cumulative hours of winter temperatures between 32°F and 45°F (0°C–7°C) required for the tree to break dormancy and set fruit in spring. Sweet cherries typically require 700 to 1,000+ chill hours, while sour cherries require 600 to 1,000 hours.

What are "chill hours" and why do cherry trees need them?
Most sweet cherry varieties are self-incompatible and require a compatible partner tree planted within 50 feet for cross-pollination, though exceptions like 'Lapins' and 'Stella' can self-pollinate. In contrast, almost all sour cherries are naturally self-fertile and will reliably produce fruit on their own.

Do I need to plant more than one cherry tree for cross-pollination?
Prune cherry trees during late winter dormancy or mid-summer to maintain tree health and prevent disease. Sweet cherries benefit from an open-center vase shape to maximize sunlight penetration and air circulation. Regular maintenance involves removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches to promote strong, productive fruiting wood.
