Cherry Hartland Semidwf

Hartland Cherry

Prunus avium ‘Hartland’ (Hartland Semi-dwarf Sweet Cherry)
A hardy, productive sweet cherry cultivar that produces large, deep red, crack-resistant cherries with rich flavor and excellent dessert quality. It’s been widely grown in home orchards and is valued for its reliable yields and good disease tolerance. ‘Hartland’ is typically grafted onto semi-dwarf/dwarfing rootstocks (like Gisela series), resulting in a more manageable tree size than standard cherries.

Size:



Width: ~10–14 ft (semidwarf; space needs vary with rootstock)



Height: ~12–15 ft (semidwarf mature height)



Zones: 5–8 (typical sweet cherry range)

Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day)

Soil: Moist, well-drained soil; avoids waterlogging

Features:



Fruit: Large, dark red sweet cherries with appealing flavor and crack resistance



Flowers: White spring blossoms that attract pollinators



Form: Upright, broadly spreading semidwarf fruit tree habit



Attracts:
Pollinators in bloom; birds to fruit (netting recommended)

Uses:
Home orchards, edible landscapes, backyard fruit production

Notes:
• Hartland usually needs a compatible pollinizer (another sweet cherry variety that blooms at the same time) for best yields.
• Semi-dwarf trees are easier to harvest and maintain than standard cherries; regular pruning and good airflow improve tree health and productivity.
