Cherries 
Cherries succeed best in sandy or gravelly soil, 
but it must be well drained. The Sweet varieties 
grow more rapidly, and make more pyramidal 
trees. Sour varieties are more dwarf and can be 
planted about 18 feet apart in permanent 
orchards. Sweet Cherries should be planted about 
24 feet apart. The roots and tops of Cherry trees 
should be severely pruned when planted, to se¬ 
cure best results.
