Prunus avium

Black Tartarian:

The Cherry, Black Tartarian, Prunus avium, has firm, sweet, dark purplish-black fruits, and inside the thin skin the flesh is sweet, juicy and extremely flavorful. It is smaller than Bing cherries, but just as flavorful and matures to a black color with a firm semi-acid pulp. It is an early bearer, with an early-to-mid-season June-July harvest which makes it an excellent choice for the home orchard. The Black Tartarian Cherry tree is very hard and disease resistant, highly recommended for the South. Pollinate with any other sweet cherry. Plant Black Tartarian in full sun and in well-drained soil. Cherry trees can be used as specimens and shade trees on larger properties.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.

The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."
