They’re very good cherries although we should try to improve their size and seed to flesh ratio.
Does anyone have a good way to remove the seeds for making jam?

I agree it would be nice if someone tried to improve them. I do have a couple white varieties that are supposed to be improved, but haven’t fruited yet. I know small seedy fruit isn’t the next big thing for the masses, but personally my favorite fruits to grow are those that are small and conducive to snacking while working outside. Pits or seeds aren’t a problem if you have somewhere to spit them.
Also if some strains are reliably self fertile that would be nice to know.

I think some Japanese plum varieties can pollinate them and vice versa. It’s not a ton tho.
Oh I see there are some Japanese ornamental cherry trees with 100m but I doubt they’re the pollinator since almost all flowers I had set fruits. But it could be. I didn’t observe if they flowered at the same time. I’ll check it next year.
