The Sweetheart cherry offers a late prolonged harvest, a heavy crop, and crisp crack resistant fruit. It is a self-fertile cherry tree that produces a healthy crop even as a standalone tree. The Sweetheart cherry was awarded a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit in 2014.Space standard trees 25', semi-dwarf 20' and dwarf 10-15'. Zones 5-7
