About Cherry
Cherry trees — sweet or tart — are a classic home orchard choice, but they need cross-pollination and are magnets for birds, so be ready to net the crop.
Plant two compatible varieties for pollination (unless tart/self-fertile). Site in full sun with good air flow. Net ripening fruit against birds. Trees bear in 3-6 years.
