Craig's Crimson cherry tree is self fruitful, and a natural semi dwarf. It is considered by some to be one of the finest sweet cherries, with fruit that is dark red to nearly black, of medium to large size with wonderful spicy flavor. Texture on the Craig's Crimson is very firm. This cherry tree variety only reaches about two thirds the size of other sweet cherries, so an excellent choice if not much room in your yard to plant, but can be clipped to shape. Mid season. 800 hours chilling. Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden.

Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. Fruit trees are planted for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.

Can you give me suggestions on which varieties to choose that would be best for combining into a limited space?
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?

For example?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
