QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Is Morello a good pollinizer for Montmorency? I have a Montmorency in my yard already. If not Morello, what do you suggest?

    Neither tree should need cross pollination, but they should be fine with each other.

  • Would a mini dwarf of this variety do well in a pot?

    A large enough container yes. A half wine barrel is 27 gallons.

  • There are two conflicting grow heights listed here for the dwarf montmorency cherry. One says 12' and the other says 5'. Can you clarify how large this will grow?

    The tree is 4'-5' when shipped and will grow to 12'-14' feet at maturity.

  • What is the best time of the year to plant Cherry trees in Seattle?

    Springtime between February and the end of April.
