Overview & Description

d’Artagnan Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus ‘d’Artagnan’) is a consistent producer of juicy, dark red fruit that ripens in late summer, prized for its versatility in juicing, fresh eating, and processing. In spring, beautiful white blooms appear before the glossy green foliage emerges, adding ornamental value to this productive fruit tree. Its self-pollinating nature makes it an easy-care choice for home orchards.

Additional Notes

It blooms in spring with white flowers before foliage emerges. Hardy to Zone 3, it is self-pollinating and prefers moist, well-drained soil. An outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, small gardens, and where consistent production of juicy, dark red sour cherries for juicing, fresh eating, and processing is desired.
