Description:
Prunus cerasus 'Early Richmond' is a sour cherry tree known for its bright, light-red fruit and lovely white spring blooms. This self-pollinating tree has been cultivated since the 1500s and is ideal for cooking and preserving due to its tart flavor. It ripens in early June, offering a harvest up to a week earlier than other cherry varieties. Hardy in zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun and adapts well to moist, well-drained soils. With a compact size and high yields, it is a classic choice for those looking to grow their own pie cherries.
