The Semi-Dwarf Black Tartarian Cherry Tree is known for its large, deep purplish-black cherries with a rich, sweet flavor and juicy, tender flesh. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, desserts, and preserves. The tree has a moderately compact growth habit, making it well-suited for home orchards and smaller garden spaces. In spring, it produces showy white blossoms that attract pollinators and give way to abundant cherries that typically ripen in early to mid-summer.
