Sweet Cherry Pie Cherry Tree

The Sweet Cherry Pie Cherry Tree (Prunus cerasus 'Sweet Cherry Pie') is a tart cherry variety known for its sweet-tart flavor, making it ideal for baking, pies, and preserves. The cherries are deep red and have firm flesh with a pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity. This tree thrives in USDA Zones 5-9 and requires full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. It is self-pollinating but can benefit from cross-pollination with another cherry variety for better fruit yields. The tree typically grows to about 10-15 feet tall and benefits from annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage optimal fruit production. The Sweet Cherry Pie Cherry Tree is generally resistant to many common diseases but should still be monitored for pests and conditions like cherry leaf spot.
