I have an excellent crop. The tree is literally falling over with fruit. This tree has been exactly like the Bartlet pear. It is a jelly like growth on the cedar trees and the spores blow in the air and infect the pears the next year. Those growths then re-infect the cedar trees.
Sour cherries are self-fertile.
The fruit is good and sweet but the tree suffers heavily in the winters and suffers extensive bark dammage with sap running down the trunk. What fruit there is is usually wormy. I cut this tree down in Sept. 1998. This tree grows slowly and fruits heavily year after year. I have had problems with mold in wet summers.
