2 years ago I planted a couple cherry trees, one Bing and one Black Tartarian. The black tartarian has grown 7 feet 😱 and the bing is still scrawny, barely growing 2 feet.

Yet the Bing is the first to bear fruit. 🙂

Nice. :thumbsup: Coincidentally, I ate my first of the season bing cherries just a bit ago.

Can't wait til we get a better yield, but I was actually surprised to get any this season since it's still very young and small. I think we're going to cut this in 1/2 tonight and share the yield. 🙂

Holy crap, you need to prune that Black Tartarian 😱

That thing is a spindly mess.

It's grown soooo fast...we didn't do it at the end of last season and probably should have...it will definitely get done at the end of this one.

It thinks it's a cactus. 😀
 
Fruit trees generally put all their nutrition and growing into either growing fruit, or growing brances/leaves. They cannot do both at the highest efficiency. So you either start with a huge non-fruit bearing tree or a small fruit bearing tree.




Actually I have absolutely no idea if what I just said is true 🙂
 
better keep that little Washington kid out of your yard. that little bastard is a terror when it comes to cherry trees.

/shakes fist.

Amazing how much fruit a little common sense can yield. 😉

We have a [dwarf] peach tree as well, but it had so much fruit last year, the fruit never got very large. So we're going to pull some of the small peaches off soon, and hope it grows some more and yields better fruit.

That's what I heard...and he only told the truth because security cameras caught him taking an axe to one!

My wife wanted cherry trees for the beautiful flowers....lol.

Screw dat, I'll get netting if needed once they bear more fruit...if they do.
 
My Norwegian grandfather could grow anything. He took a bet he couldn't grow Bing cherries on his farm in South Dakota... Us grand kids ate cherries all summer long. 🙂
