The Double-Cherry Twist Tree is a rare addition to any landscape, offering both unique and practical solutions to limited space and exquisite taste. Using the same grafting techniques as our Fruit Jubilee trees, 2 Cherry varieties are now growing on just one tree! These varieties are a blend of Rainier, Bing, Black Tart, Lapins, Van, Stella, Sweetheart, Lambert, Corum, Royal Ann, and Montmorency.
There are many unique benefits to growing a Double Cherry Twist tree, including:
- The unique varieties pollinate each other! When before you needed to reserve space for at least two trees, this tree takes up much less precious room in your landscape! This is especially helpful with cherry trees because standard trees can grow quite large.
- The different varieties of cherries create a beautiful tree because they are all different shades of red! Also you get to enjoy a variety of cherries all season long because they ripen at different times! Now when one crop is done, another cherry with a completely different flavor will be ready to enjoy!
- If you enjoy baking with cherries or just plain fresh eating then this tree gives you the opportunity to try all kinds of different recipes and flavors!
