CHERRIES
Cherries are definitely possible to grow in our area. The trees can also be grown as an ornamental. The bark and blooms add a lovely addition to a landscape or in a garden. Cherry trees are typically smaller growing than most other fruit trees. While some sweet cherries can sometimes be grown, usually the more sour type cherries are hardier for our area. A cherry will grow maximum height to about 15' in our area, usually a little less.
