Content | Sweet Cherry Pie™ Cherry
Prunus 'Eubank'
From Wisconsin orchardist Bill Eubank, this new cherry tree has the sweetest tasting cherries we have ever sampled. Although it is not quite sweet enough for fresh eating like a Bing, the cherries from the Sweet Cherry Pie™ tree are fantastic for jams, jellies and pies. Imagine being able to pick cherries in your back yard for homemade summer pies! Hardy to Zone 4, even northern gardeners can grow homemade fruit. With its relatively compact size, growing to 15', this is a great tree for a home garden or small orchard.

The tree is exceptionally frost hardy and generally disease resistant, and thus keeps well in storage. The fruit usually ripens mid-September to early October. It is large, commonly weighing over a pound, and fairly sweet with a distinctive red and yellow appearance. It has many culinary uses, as it keeps its shape well when cooked. Wolf River is a world-class apple butter apple, which has long been praised for the rich, fluffy apple butter it provides after hours of slow cooking. | Black Ice® Plum
Prunus ‘Lydecker’ PP16,621
Description & Overview
Black Ice® plum produces large round black fruits that ripen in early August in Wisconsin. The fruit is sweet, juicy and semi-cling. This plum was derived from a complex cross of sand cherry (Prunus besseyi) with Japanese plum genetics. The goal by the breeder was to obtain a Japanese type plum that was hardy enough to grow in the upper mid-west yet had the quality to compete with Japanese plums readily available on the summer markets from west coast growers.
