Cherry 
Trees 
Cherry trees will not 
thrive on flat or wet land. 
The soil must be dry. It 
might be light sand or clay 
loam, or any soil between 
these. The only stipulation is 
dryness. 
Also another important fact about cherry trees is the rootstock; namely, the Mazzard and 
Mahaleb. The Mazzard is the old type rootstock that your father and grandfather would graft. 
These are natural sweet cherry roots and live over a long period. The other is the Mahaleb, 
the imported sour cherry root. This rootstock is standard for sour cherries but when sweet 
cherry varieties are budded on this root they usually have a shorter life than when budded on 
the Mazzard rootstock.
