Pie Cherry
Attractive and naturally compact trees, Pie Cherries are great for the home garden, Covered with profuse, white flowers in late spring, they produce heavy crops of tart and flavorful fruit, great for juice, jam and baked goods.
Pie cherries like full to 1/2 day sun, well drained soil and are typically hardy to -40°F (USDA zone 3). Bloom time is around April and ripening time is July-August with a yield of 50+ pounds per tree. Most pie cherry trees are self-fertile, though it is said production can be increased some by planting near another variety of cherry. Bacterial Canker can occasionally damage trunks or branches. Symptoms of this disease are dead branches and amber-colored sap exuding from the branches or trunk. Spraying with copper in the fall and early spring can help control Bacterial Canker. To repel birds, you can cover your trees with netting or use flash tape.
