NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
The Cutie Pie Sour Cherry produces fruit that are sweeter than other sour cherry varieties. Good for fresh eating and for making jams and jellies. They are small in stature (shrub like) and multi stemmed, which makes for a good hedge.
They are cold hardy and are a hybrid of Mongolian and European sour cherries, produced by the University of Saskatchewan.
They have small, attractive, white flowers. Cutie Pie Sour Cherry trees are self pollinating and require moist, well-drained soil. For better yields, plant compatible cultivars such as the Romeo Cherry nearby.
Schubert Chokecherry is similar to a western chokecherry but features beautiful purple-red leaves throughout the summer.
This small, flowering tree is perfectly suited as an ornamental for city yards.
The fruit from this tree is a staff favourite for jams, jellies, and wines.
