Prunus Black Tartarian
Black Tartarian Cherry
Black Tartarian sweet cherry is an early-fruiting variety with dark purple-black skin and tender, juicy flesh. The fruits have a mild, sweet flavor and are best enjoyed fresh.
Tree size depends on rootstock, pruning, and training. Seasonal ripening dates also vary with the local climate. A compatible sweet-cherry pollinator is required; the grower gives approximately 700–800 chilling hours.
Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and water during establishment and fruit development. Plan the spacing around the rootstock and intended training system.
