Sour Cherry Crop - 2025

I can't believe it but this is the sixth season for my sour cherry trees.  They have grown up to 10 feet high and close to 10 feet wide and produced a lot of fruit for me this year.  Read about previous seasons (Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4 and Season 5

These are North Star Cherries which have a dark fleshed fruit which have a flavor similar to a sweet cherry but with a higher level of acidity and lower levels of sweetness.  I enjoy eating them but will use most of them in my beer

Growing Notes:

  • 6/3/25 - I have a large amount of fruit that is ripening.  I wait until the fruit is a purple color before picking
  • 6/20/25 - I have been picking for the last couple weeks, twice a day, and even though there is some fruit high up in the branches I am calling it good. I've gotten 37 lbs of fruit this year
  • 6/22/25 - I did some pruning of the lower branches which were making it difficult to mow under the tree
