The Sweet Thing Cherry is a sour cherry hybrid of Carmine Jewel and Erdi Jubileum that produces sweeter and firmer berries than other cold-hardy sour cherry varieties. The berries are a deep burgundy red and quite sweet, making them excellent for fresh eating and also desserts, jams and jellies.
The Sweet Thing Cherry, or the Jubileum, is highly suckering so it can establish your hedge quickly, or fill in gaps.
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.
