Prunus avium 'Black Tartarian'

Black Tartarian is an heirloom variety of sweet cherry. It originated in Russia, where it grows native in the Circassia region, Black Tartarian was introduced in England in 1794 as Roland's Large Black Heart. Later it would make to European markets renamed Fraser's Black Tartarian, by which we know it today.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Will Black Tartarian cross pollinate with a Lapins tree?

    Yes it will

  • What will pollinate a black tartarion and a Rainer cherry

    Any other sweet cherry.

  • i don't have any other cherry trees would bees just work

    Without cross pollination this tree will not set fruit. You will need a self-fertile cherry tree, or to plant a compatible cherry elsewhere.

  • I have both a Kristin and a Hartland and I am in zone 7a, would these help pollinate a black tartarian?

    Yes those will do fine.

  • I have a sweet black tartarian that is in full bloom however my rainier cherry and Stella are just getting started….. my black tarterian doesn’t ever fruit assuming because bloom cycle weeks apart….. what can I do to pollinate it ?

    A sour cherry, or sour cherry hybrid, will bloom before Rainer or Stella and should help with your pollination window problems. Try Montmorency, Almaden Duke, or Kansas Sweet.

Late purchase

So, I purchased this tree late in the season to replace a tree a local deer decided to eat down to the ground. I wasn’t sure what condition the tree would come in, but it was a beautiful bare root and within a week it has leaves and is doing well. I put a fence around it to keep the deer from munching on it this time around.

Giving this one a try

The day I received my bare root tree I planted it. In less then a week it was bursting with new foliage! I have another that I planted last year. Both were savagely attacked by Japanese beetles!
