DArtagnan Sour Cherry

Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red.

Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.

The D'Artagnan Cherry is a cold-hardy sour cherry that produces small, sour cherries that are sweeter than other varieties. It typically produces high yields that are ready for harvest in early August. The cherries are good for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. It is comparable to the Romance series cherries, but has a typically shorter form.

The D'Artagnan Cherry is from the new Musketeer Series from the University of Saskatchewan. Cross pollinates well with the Romance series such as the Romeo or Juliet sour cherry.
