Frequently asked questions
Do cherry trees need a pollinator?
Some varieties are self-fruitful, but many need a compatible second variety nearby for strong fruit set. Check each product’s pollination notes before you buy.
How many chill hours do cherry trees need in the Bay Area?
It depends on the variety and your microclimate. Coastal areas generally favor lower-chill selections, while inland areas can support a wider range.
When is the best time to plant in Northern California?
Late fall through early spring is ideal, when the tree is dormant and roots can establish before summer heat.
How long until I get fruit?
Many trees begin producing a light crop in a few years, with stronger harvests as the canopy matures and pollination becomes consistent.
