| Hi, do you cherrys need pollination? If so, what trees pollinate well with each other? Which cherry varieties are the sweetest? Lastly, do they bear fruit in zone 8? |
| Sour cherries are usually self-fruitful; sweet cherries need a second tree for pollination. Most of Texas lacks sufficient winter chilling needed to produce a normal bloom. Sour cherry varieties, such as Montmorency, bear with fair consistency in North Texas. Sweet cherry varieties are winter-killed because of fluctuating temperatures and are unadapted to all of Texas. |
