Planting a New "Meteor" Pie Cherry. 5.13.2021

 After the neighbor's gigantic, majestic, aged apple tree fell on some of the trees, I ordered a "Meteor" pie cherry to replace the injured "North Star" pie cherry.  The North Star may still survive, but I had a spot and it takes a while for a tree to gear fruit.


Meteor is described as a genetic dwarf, reaching 10 or 12 feet or so, heavy producer, self pollinating tart cherry.

This was from Burnt Ridge.  I think the have the best quality bare root fruit trees around.  This one was no exception to that.

I am intrigued by the sprouts on the rootstock.  I cut them off.  This rootstock - Mazzard - may be one tat makes a lot if suckers.
