Yeah I always wonder where bakeries get their pie cherries from. Maybe they buy frozen ?
Cherries are expensive here , I guess growing can save some money, assuming birds don’t wipe out an entire crop
I currently have a whitegold which has a really good taste, but I think I will get some montmorency to graft . I don’t mind tart fruit so I will plan to mostly eat them fresh. Any other good sour cherries ?
They are available for about 1 week in select stores for the year, so there’s a supplier somewhere for fresh sour cherries! But yes, likely they’re processed in some way for all the other ways to eat them
Let me know if you want to exchange some Whitegold for Montmorency scions. I got some Montmorency scions from @TNHunter last year and the grafts grew 2-3ft over the summer. I sent you a message.
Wow that’s lucky. I’ve never seen fresh tart cherries in Maryland. We love frozen montmorency…if my explorations with sweet cherries fails, I’ll be happy to graft them over to tart, but given how expensive organic sweet cherries are and how much my family loves them, I’m going to bang my head against a wall for a few years and try.
Anyone in the area that wants elderberry cuttings, just shoot me a message with whenever you would like to stop by and grab some. Going to cut them all today. Just shove in the ground and forget or if you want a rooted cutting, I’m sure I’ll have many extra in late spring.
Ive decided to move long island from the new york and new england chat to here. My climate is more like the coastal middle then those people up in the cold.
