Multi-Fruited Cherry Tree 1
Utah Giant and Van Cherries
RAINIER, BING, UTAH GIANT AND VAN CHERRIES ALL ON THE SAME TREE!!These Multi-Budded cherries are on Mazzard Rootstock. Included are the Rainier, Bing, Utah Giant, and Van Multi-Budded. Always plant the smallest limb to the south/southwest to insure that it gets plenty of sun. Cut back the strongest growing varieties by two thirds. Cut back the weakest variety by one half, or not at all. Do not let one variety takes over, or one of the others may fail. Prune back the more aggressive limbs. Summer-prune when necessary in order to let sunlight get to all the developing varieties. After the third season, maintain the multi-budded tree so that each fruit-type grows in balance with the others. A multi-budded fruit tree will produce more variety and a longer harvest from a limited space.
