description for "Cherry: Prunus avium 'Summit'"
With 'Summit', yes, you can grow king-size sweet cherries in your own backyard, These are a huge 1-inch diameter cherries. Best of all, the pits are tiny so you get more sweet meat. Pollinate your 'Summit' with any other sweet cherry. Ripens in mid-June in Zone 5. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
