Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.

Potted Mystery Sweet Cherry

Available only for pick-up at nursery.

History: Oops, we had an inventory mishap and don't know what variety these sweet cherries are! We're happy to offer these wonderful plants at a discount to any adventurous growers who don't mind a bit of mystery. These will be full-size sweet cherry trees.

Why We Grow It: While we don't know what variety these trees are, they'll certainly produce a deliciously sweet cherry that is a great summer treat! We recommend these mystery trees for customers with plenty of space since sweet cherries get quite tall and who already have sweet cherries on or near their property. Since these are mystery trees, we do not know if they require a pollination partner to produce fruit.

Reminder: Potted plants are available for pick-up only!

Potted plants are only available for pick-up at the nursery. They unfortunately cannot be shipped due to the size and weight of the pots.

Most potted plants will fit into most vehicles. If you are ordering a 16gal potted plant, we would recommend bringing a larger vehicle (van, SUV, pickup truck) and having someone to help you unload it.

You may want to lay down a tarp or other covering to keep dirt out of your car. If you are transporting the plants in the back of a pickup truck, we recommend laying them down and covering them with a tarp, bed cover, or other covering so they do not get windburn.

Potted plants vary in size and age, but we typically pot berries and smaller seedlings in 1-3 gallon pots and larger grafted trees in 5-16 gallon pots. The size of our potted plants generally fall into the following ranges based on pot size:

  • 1gal pots - 1-3ft tall
  • 2 or 3gal pots - 1.5-3ft tall
  • 5gal pots - 3-7ft tall
  • 8gal pots - 4-7ft tall
  • 16gal pots - 6-8ft tall

All sizes include the pots.
