Sweet Cherry Trees
Sweet Cherry Trees
Prunus avium
Sweet cherries provide lovely sweet treats that are best enjoyed right off the tree! These tall trees are also quite attractive in spring when covered in a profusion of lovely white flowers.
Some sweet cherries are self-pollinating and some need two different varieties for pollination - we have noted which is which in the variety descriptions. Otherwise, two different varieties are required. Sweet cherries and sour cherries do not pollinate each other.

History: Tehranivee™ was bred by Dr. Ghassem Tehrani at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre and released in 1969. It is a cross between Stella and Van, both popular commercial varieties. Its sister, Vandalay, was created from the same breeding program with the same parentage and released at the same time. Sticking with the 'v' naming convention for Vineland varieties, Tehranivee™ was named after its creator with a 'vee' added to the end of his last name.
Why We Grow It: Tehranivee™ produces good quality cherries that are dark red in colour. The tree is also quite productive, producing a large number of excellent sweet cherries.

Species: Prunus avium
History: These seedlings are grown from seeds from sweet cherries sourced in Ontario.
Why We Grow It: These seedlings will likely stay more true to type than apples which means you'll be enjoying some lovely sweet cherries in a few years' time! Alternatively, if you prefer growing named varieties, these seedlings would also be great wildlife trees or can be planted to attract birds and squirrels away from other fruit trees.
We have the following seedlings available:
- Niagara Sweet Dark Cherry

These are seedlings of Lapins and will likely bear some resemblance to their parent variety. Lapins was released in the 1980s from the Summerland Research Station in British Columbia and was initially quite popular. It is similar to Bing with a pleasant, mild flavour.
Species: Prunus avium
History: These seedlings are grown from Hedelfingen seeds from sweet cherries sourced in Ontario. First discovered in Germany in 1850, Hedelfingen has become a popular variety in Ontario.
Why We Grow It: Seedling fruit trees are a great way to add some diversity and mystery to your garden or orchard! The parent variety, Hedelfingen, is well-regarded due to its great flavour and later bloom time which makes it more tolerant of late spring frosts.
Please Note: Since sweet cherries tend to stay true to type more than apples, these seedlings will likely bear a strong resemblance to their parent variety. However, any specific information listed on this page should be taken with a grain of salt as there may be some variation from the parent tree.
