I wanted to try this collection along with the Sweet Tart Cherry collection so as to do everything possible to enhance and improve production. Should the trees all live, I should have a better harvest with the additional pollinators..... free shipping along with the reviews I read helped as well in my deciding on both collections.

What is the only thing better than cherries? More cherries! We have Black Gold, we wanted 2 more trees of other varieties and ripening times. Supreme quality makes a difference, so we buy it when available.

Great right off the tree.

I have been purchasing fruit trees and other products from Stark Bros. for many years. They offer the BEST warranty/guarantee for their products. They know their trees and other items they sale. The sales staff can answer any questions you may have especially what tree should thrive in your hardiness zone and their shipping fees are reasonable.

How do you keep animals from eating the fruits?
Mariah H on Oct 31, 2016
BEST ANSWER: In my experience, you don't. Bird nets may work. Sometimes a fake owl scares them off for a bit. But hungry birds will eat cherries so you have to pick them quick.

I live in Henderson, Nevada; (zone 9) will Stella and bing cherries, survive where I live?
Becky on Oct 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: It's too warm where you live for cherry trees, sorry to disappoint. These trees requires a certain number of days/hours below a certain temperature in order to go dormant and restart its production cycle. The trees will survive in your zone, but will not produce much, if any, fruit.
Should clay soil be modified for sweet cherry trees ?
Chuck on Sep 3, 2016

Great trees so far but I would like to share something important.
The trees grew very well from May through August. I planted them in a 4' wide, 2' deep hole, 1/3 garden soil, 1/2 local soil, 1/6 mulch making a low mound. A storm came in September which I thought was good for the trees. It was for the apples, apricots and peaches, but not the cherries. They started to get brown spot on the leaves, although treated with an anti-fungal copper spray, they lost between 1/2 and 3/4 of their leaves. I researched the problem and found that the heavier soils are very tough on sweet cherries after a large rain in Indiana, and that a solution for this problem is a raised bed and a good dose of peat moss (about 1/4). Some of my winter squash and a blackberry have had problem with fungus too, since I started after moving here 3 years ago. I hope this helps. Otherwise I look forward to adding some plums and nut trees next year.

Sweet Cherry Trees
My sweet cherry trees are looking healthy hopefully I will get some cherries this year. I think I planted them 2016 and perhaps it is time to start fruiting.

Trees are still young
The trees are just now a year old. One of the cherry trees is growing beautifully. The second..sat in some flood water last year..but held on strong and is trying to catch up. :D The apple tree; had a very slowly start..so much that i thought it was dead, but it has put on several branches. I know getting fruit on them usually takes a few years, but I am grateful that I have started my mini orchard. :D

Still Going Strong
These trees have withstood a harsh Winter as well as a mild one with no frost or disease damage. Into their third year, they look vigorous this Spring and one even has some blossoms... Now I'll have to fight with the birds and hope to have some fruit this year or the next. Good stock and also have a good shape with the right pruning.

So far so good.
The trees are surviving well, even though the deer munched on them a little. No fruit yet, but I'm just glad they've made it through our hot TN summer!

One of two lived and is doing fine
One of these made it through the season and did pretty well over the winter. It looks pretty good nearly a year later. The other did not make it more than a few months. There was a terrible drought and I watered as much as I could. Probably not Stark's fault. They can't control the weather!

I planted my cherry trees last summer, a year later now and my Stella tree looks beautiful! There's lots of growth and looks very healthy. However, my other tree did not come back this spring. Though there is a small amount of growth below the graft.
