Cherry Prunus

There are two types of cherries. Sweet cherries are what you usually see at the supermarket. Most are self-sterile, but will produce more and larger fruit with a different sweet cherry variety in the vicinity. Sour cherries are most often used for cooking. These cherry shrubs typically take 3 to 5 years to begin bearing fruit, depending upon the tree size (dwarf will bear sooner) and the variety.
