FRUIT TREES 
CHERRIES 
The compact shapeliness of Cherry trees, their glossy foliage, 
and spring glory of clustered blossoms, gives them ornamental 
value even in the lawn. 
The trees are naturally hardy, succeeding best on sandy or 
gravelly loam, well drained. Avoid low or wet ground. Sweet 
varieties grow more rapidly and make larger pyramidal trees. 
Set trees 18 to 20 feet apart. The sour varieties are dwarf and 
bushy, bear earlier, and are more largely planted. Set trees 15 
to 18 feet apart.

as espaliers. The dwarfing does not affect the production of 
fruit except possibly to make the tree bear younger.
