Let's Get Started 

Prunus japonica x Prunus Jacquemontii - A tart bush cherry, introduced by E.M. Meder, typically grows less than 5 feet tall, full sun to partial shade, in moderate to well drained soil. Produces average sized tart cherries, that ripen late August, early September. Tart cherries can be used for jams, jellies, pies and juice, high in antioxidants. Prune in late winter early spring and dead or damaged lims, can be planted as a hedge row. Late ripening cherries do not seem to have as much damage from birds since they don't generally eat red fruit in late summer.

Dig a hole approximately 12" wide and 6" deep. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil and water thoroughly. The top of the potted portion of the plant should be slightly lower than the top of the hole. Be sure that the potted plant is completely covered with your native soil or it may act as a wick and cause the roots to dry out. Some plants may benefit by replacing in a larger pot and then transplanting to the ground in the fall. 

 

All purpose fertilizer can be applied April and June. 

Prune in late winter early spring any dead damaged limbs.
