Delicious, Easy-to-Grow Heart Cherries

Why Sweetheart Cherry Trees?

For starters, the Sweetheart Cherry Tree doubles as an eye-catching ornamental and easy-to-grow producer. Sweetheart Cherries are known for their perfect texture and taste, as well as their hassle-free care.

And with the longest harvest of any cherry tree, the Sweetheart Cherry truly loves to grow. Whether you plant several along your driveway or place one as the showpiece of your garden, it thrives. You get white and pink blooms that decorate its branches in spring and then bright red, heart-shaped cherries that hang like ornaments in the summer. Summer’s deep green foliage then transitions to blazing oranges, reds and even pinks during autumn.

So, you get month after month of visual interest in addition to the crisp texture and sweet, perfectly tart taste of your Sweetheart Cherries. And since they remain crisp long after picking, you can even use them in the fall for pies and jams.

The tree I planted last

The tree I planted last year has taken well and has lots of leaves on it. I hope I get a cherry or two this year but it looks good and healthy. I’ll let you know when I get a cherry.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Vicky, we’re so glad to hear your Sweetheart Cherry Tree is thriving and full of healthy leaves. A strong, healthy tree is a great sign, and we hope this is the year you get to enjoy your first cherries.

Eaten by deer

I planted this tree in my yard and it was immediately eaten by deer that night. The tree looked great before and shipping was fine. Just be aware that deer love to eat the leaves, bark, etc of cherry tree saplings. I now have large fences up to protect future saplings from deer.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're sorry the deer got to it so quickly, Kelsey. Cherry trees are a real deer magnet especially as young saplings. Your new fencing is exactly the right protective measure and we hope your next Cherry Tree thrives safely behind it!
