Sweet Pie Cherry Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Sweet Pie Cherry Trees to bear fruit?

Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems, and will often set fruit in their second or third years.

How Fast Do Sweet Pie Cherry Trees Grow?

Cherry trees are medium growth rate plants and once they are established they can add 12-18 inches per year or so if given the ideal growing conditions.

Where do Sweet Pie Cherry Trees Grow Best?

Cherry trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more. Morning sun is a plus and planting any fruit tree where there is good air circulation keeps the plants stress-free.

Do You Need 2 Cherry Trees to Produce Fruit?

All Prunus varieties have different requirements to set fruit. Sweet Pie is self-fruiting and doesn't need a pollinating partner, but will bear more fruit when paired with a partner that flowers at the same time.

No room? Look into High-Density Planting techniques, or choose a semi-dwarf or dwarf fruit tree.

When Should Sweet Pie Cherry Trees be Planted?

Bareroot cherry trees are best planted in the spring but container-grown cherry trees can be successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season as long as the ground isn’t frozen and they are carefully watered as needed. Check for first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.

Ordered very early last year

I ordered one of the very first run of these, it arrived with foliage intact, but the leaves died off and succors started to grow from below the graft.Summer was harsh and winter was particularly cold but it's surviving.This year spikes formed on all the branches, leaves have emerged and are slowly beginning to form.It's parked in a much shadier spot in the yard than I would have preferred but this was early on in my planting stages and some of them weren't exactly planned out.So anyway it appears to be doing well despite rough beginnings, here's hoping it continues and will bear fruit someday. As of right now it's not developing at the same pace as the other trees in the yard so cross-pollination may prove troublesome with the existing mix.

Hello Welding A.,

Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful update on your First Editions® Sweet Cherry Pie™ Cherry! We truly appreciate hearing about your early order experience and the journey your tree has been through. It’s great to hear that despite the harsh summer and cold winter, your cherry tree is showing resilience with new growth and spiked branches—it’s a strong sign of its determination to thrive.

The emerging suckers below the graft can sometimes be vigorous. Since you mentioned challenging growing conditions, especially with your tree planted in a shadier spot, ensuring the grafted portion develops properly might require some occasional pruning of those suckers to help the desired variety take priority. It is quite common for fruit trees to grow slower initially under less than ideal light, so continue monitoring its growth spot as your yard plan evolves.

Regarding fruit set and cross-pollination, cherrypies may indeed benefit from compatible pollinators nearby. If other cherry varieties are limited where you’re located, introducing a complementary pollinator designed for mild or varying outdoor conditions could improve fruit production in the future.

For added support, you might explore our extension articles on cherry tree care and managing suckers under our “Nature Hills Learn” section—there are practical tips for your specific situation.

Thank you again for your ongoing commitment to nurturing your new cherry tree. We’re optimistic about your tree’s promising progress and are here any time you have questions along the way.

Wishing you happy planting,
The Nature Hills Plant Experts

Ordered very early last year

Hello Welding A.,

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed update on your First Editions® Sweet Cherry Pie™ cherry! We truly appreciate hearing about your experience from the very beginning. It sounds like your cherry endured some difficult conditions early on, and it’s wonderful to hear it’s showing signs of growth and vigor despite the challenges.

The suckers growing below the graft are a common issue with grafted cherries; they’re essentially rootstock suckers competing with your desired variety. We recommend pruning them off close to the base as they appear, which helps direct energy to the grafted section so it can thrive.

Placement in a shadier spot can slow growth since Sweet Cherry Pie cherries do appreciate full sun. If possible, consider acclimating it bit by bit toward a sunnier location in future seasons. Meanwhile, it’s strong to be forming leaf buds and even spikes this early – a very encouraging sign.

Regarding your concern with cross-pollination, since this variety does require compatible pollinizers nearby to ensure fruit set, you might explore planting another sweet cherry variety that blooms around the same time. We’re happy to recommend some pollinator favorites if you like!

Thank you again for your feedback, and we admire your patience and attention in nurturing this plant. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you’d like tips on improving your cherry’s fruit yield. We look forward to watching your cherry progress through the seasons!
