description for "Cherry: Prunus avium 'Van'"
The semi-dwarf Van sweet cherry tree produces great big, ruby-red cherries. This tree was bred to be super-hardy and to deliver superb cherries, even where the weather is so rainy many other cherries crack. Enjoy magnificent cherry blossoms every spring. Van is one of the best pollinators for any other sweet cherry tree. Pollinate with any other sweet cherry. Ripens mid-June in Zone 5. --edited by dtd siegelgirl
