Sweetheart cherry trees are Canadian-bred trees prized for their late harvest and superb fruit quality. Known for producing large, heart-shaped, deep red cherries with a perfect balance of sweetness and firmness, Sweetheart has become a favorite for extending the cherry season. Adding a Sweetheart cherry tree to your orchard or garden means enjoying fresh cherries well into summer, long after most other varieties have finished. It’s an exciting choice for any grower looking to savor the taste of premium, late-season cherries.
MicroStarts' Sweetheart cherry trees are grafted (ensuring true-to-type fruit), and ship in a Jumbo Ellepot.

Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.
Planting & Care
These trees are grafted to ensure they produce fruits that are true to type, matching the quality, flavor, and characteristics of their parent variety.
Ellepots promote healthy, air-pruned root systems and can be planted directly into the ground. If you purchase an Ellepot plant, no need to remove the biodegradable sleeve - it can be planted straight in the ground!
Taller trees will be cut down to 34” prior to shipping. Trees shipped in winter are dormant and leafless, and naturally awaken in spring.
