A popular early-season sweet cherry, Black Tartarian is known for its deep purple-black skin and tender, juicy flesh with a rich, mild flavor. It produces medium to large fruit that ripens in late spring to early summer and is best enjoyed fresh. The tree is not self-fertile and requires a compatible pollinator, such as Bing or Stella. Black Tartarian cherries typically need around 700–800 chilling hours and perform best in areas with warm summers and well-drained soil.
