The Cherry, Early Richmond, Prunus cerasus, is the first sour cherry available in the late spring, and it is a small, round, bright red cherry with a tart-acidy flavor. This bright red Early Richmond is excellent for cooking. Sour cherries are richly flavored and firm of flesh so that they don’t go mushy during cooking. Use sour cherries for pies, cobblers, dessert sauces, preserves, and jams. Plant Early Richmond in full sun and well-drained soil. Cherry trees can be used as specimens and shade trees on larger properties. It can be held to any height with summer pruning.
