Sweet Cherry 'Sweetheart' 7 Gallon

Prunus avium
A newer sweet cherry tree variety from a cross of 'Van' and 'Newstar'. Medium sized, dark red fruit have a sweet flavor and excellent texture. Spring blossoms yield very late fruit in mid August into September. The tree is self-fertile and requires no pollinator. It will bear large crops of uniform fruit within 4-7 years. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune in late winter to control size and form or after flowering. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
