Cherry Toms in 5 Gal?

GoDawgs · March 4, 2018

The main cherry I grow is Juliet because they get large enough that in a pinch and when in "overload" I can put them up. This is a 2016 shot of Juliet in a big bucket.

One other that just makes cherries all over the place is one that goes by the unassuming name of Large Red Cherry. I originally bought a pack from Walmart to use in a project (growing lots of sets to give away at work as a promo). That sucker makes cherries about an inch and a half wide and gets loaded!

Where Juliet gets tall, Large Red Cherry gets really bushy. This one eventually got 5' wide.

Of course, lots of greenies call for pickling experimentation so I used some of these to experiment with five different recipes:

Unfortunately, I didn't care much for any of them.
