Dwarf Cherry Trees - 2009 - 3rd Year

Small garden I made 3 years ago, easy to maintain. I added landscape ties as a border, put a little 2x2 treated fence around the garden Also added 2 teirs of wire for the grapevines. the watering is supplied by 2 lenghts of dripper hose to keep water use down.. lol... Living at the sure helps im shore :) cuz D xtra moisture...Fruit bearing will begin in June and go until November. You can really pack alot of fruit in a small place!
The best part is they are all perennial so they just keep coming back every year stronger!,

Your garden is wonderful! 2 days ago I planted my first cherry tree (dwarf Black Tartarian) and today I saw some Japanese Beetles on it and 2 leaves completely eaten.

Some leaves seem to have turned yellow and fallen (I'm assuming due to transplant

shock). Have you ever dealt with these beetles? If so, what did youi do to get rid of them? I have 2 other trees coming this week and I hope I won't loose them.

Thank you.

@LuvCrochet1 Its a little late to be planting trees, Cherry trees are very prone to stress easily, especially this year in the norheast because of heat and drought. They are best planted in May or early April...

I've dealt with aphids on my cherries this year, but never beetles. Spray them with soapy water and the leaves as well. (I try to stay away from pesticides) and see what happens... BTW I think Black Tartarians need a pollinizer to set fruit...

do you have any rabbit problems there?

[StixxmanNJ]

@acula1982 I see Rabbits now and then, but I havent noticed problems with them. The birds are still finding ways to get cherries though!

bings are NOT self fertilizing.

[StixxmanNJ]

@riverlifeva No bings are not! They need to be cross- pollinated.

I GOT MY Dwarf Cherry Trees ON LINE FOR $9.95 EACH

Nice trees!  I'm surprised there's no cherries on that Dwarf Bing. I have a Dwarf Bing & a Dwarf Black Tartarian, & both are only about 1/3 the size of your Bing. I pruned both of them a lot for the 1st 2 yrs. & I had a couple flowers on them last year but no cherries. This year, they're loaded with cherries! I wonder if u had a lack of bees for cross pollination w/your sweet cherry species? Also have a Dwarf Damson Plum with plums tiny plums this year! All 3 are 3-4 yrs. old. Thank You!

Hello

I was just checking out your videos. And I enjoyed the information that you gave which was very informative. But I'm just curious have you got any fruit from these trees. And you said these would dwarf trees if so how wide and how tall do they actually get. Because I am thinking of doing the same thing in my yard. But I have a limited limited space

thank you so much

[LuvCrochet1]

@StixxmanNJ Thanks for the reply. I was considering soapy water, since the treatment for the beetles is to knock them into a pot of soapy water. I will be putting in a Stella as a pollinizer.. This is my first attempt at planting any trees, and the websites where I purchased the trees did not indicate a preferable planting schedule. I have some plum trees on order from a different nursery and they are

shipping them in the middle of October. Wish me luck!

I had a handful of white gold cherries from my tree which is a semi dwarf until a family of bluejays discovered them. I'll have to put a net over it next year. The black gold didn't do much for some reason? I don't know if bing is good for the northeast because they are prone to splitting in wet weather.
