BLACK TARTARIAN SWEET CHERRY TREE

A great choice for home orchards, the Black Tartarian Cherry trees are early bearers of large, cherry-red to purplish-black fruit. Requires cross pollinator with other sweet cherries such as the Stella, Bing, or Rainier. The Black Tartarian makes an excellent pollinator for other cherry varieties. This cultivar prefers light, sandy soil that is moist and well-drained. It is not drought tolerant. It should get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

Not to be confused with Wild Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), Prunus avium 'Black Tartarian' is a cultivated sweet cherry grown specifically for high-quality, large, and delicious fresh eating fruit. In contrast, Prunus serotina (Wild Black Cherry) is a large native timber tree that bears tiny, astringent fruit primarily used by wildlife or processed for cooking. 'Black Tartarian' forms a manageable orchard-sized tree with showy early spring blossom clusters and requires a cross-pollinator to produce its dark, juicy cherries. It should not be confused with wild native cherry trees, which produce long, dangling flower racemes and aggressive self-seeding seedlings.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help these trees settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in full sun to ensure the best fruit production and foliage color. Cherry trees are notoriously sensitive to "wet feet," so ensure the site has excellent drainage and air circulation to prevent fungal issues, avoiding low-lying areas where frost or water can collect.

Provide deep, consistent water during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established, and monitor soil moisture thereafter to ensure it remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve structure, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage productive growth.
