Sweet Cherries Vandalay and Sweetheart. 4.17.19 |

Pie Cherry Montmorency. 4.17.19 |
This is peak bloom time for sweet cherry varieties Vandalay, Sweetheart, and Ranier, as well as for Montmorency. I don't think Montmorency pollinates the sweet cherries, and is self pollinating. The sweet cherries look like they will have a good crop this year.
I planted Vandalay and Sweetheart from shipped bare root trees from Raintree in 2012. Ranier was a bare root tree from BiMart in about 2014. Montmorency was from Home Depot, I think in 2010, and I replanted it to the Battleground orchard in 2012. It was a ball and burlap tree.
