Sweet Cherry 'Black Tartarian', Black Tartarian Sweet Cherry
One of the best pollinators for other sweet cherries, Prunus avium ‘Black Tartarian’ is a large and vigorous cherry tree of pyramidal habit. In mid-spring, it boasts an abundance of sweetly scented white flowers clustered along the branches in groups of two to three. They are followed by a bountiful crop of medium-sized, heart-shaped, dark red cherries in early summer. The flesh is tender, very juicy, and sweet. They are excellent for eating fresh, canning, or preserves. Its spreading canopy is adorned all summer long with smooth, lustrous, dark green leaves. Requires cross-pollination with a compatible variety with the same bloom time such as Bing, Stella, or Rainier for best production. A popular, robust, and very prolific cherry variety.
