Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry
Carmine Jewel did well for me in zone 5 central NY state. Bloomed quite late for a cherry, long past danger of frost. The birds loved the fruit. Late in the season, the leaves got some slight yellow spots, but not too bad. I moved away not long after I planted it, so sorry I can't report more than that.

Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry
Lee,
I have very limited experience in that we have been selling small potted plants of Carmine Jewel for the last several years.
We have purchased them from North Star Seed & Nursery in Faribault, Minn., and from Sam Kedem in Hastings, Minn.
I have never seen a full size bush, nor the fruit.
We have Juliet on order for 2017 in bigger pots (two-gallon) from a Canadian grower. We also have both Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion coming 2017 in that size.
Their reputation suggests they will replace older varieties?

[nafex] Now: Northstar cherries - Was: Saving cherries from the birds
Betsy,
I have been growing Northstars for about 20 years now...
They are very attractive landscape trees.
You can easily hold them at 6 feet so they can be netted completely. I suggest you prune to a classic vase shape with 4 main scaffolds.
The are susceptible to brown rot, although I usually do not spray for it as I have enough trees that I still get enough fruit. Also if you train as I suggested you can mitigate it through cultural practices as well as the application of a box fan after it rains etc.
There appears to be strains out there also, with some with larger fruit than others.
They hang well on the tree, and I harvest mine for weeks and week sat all stages of ripeness. But if you let them stay on the tree for along, long time they will become very dark and sweeten up some, becoming a delicious sweet-tart.
I usually spray mine once for PC, and that is all they need to keep the PC off them. I pit all mine etc, and now and then there is a larvae in there but it is very, very rare for me. So one spray it is.
Kindest regards...

I have nothing to measure yet. My tree is not bearing. They will be
North Star 'sour' cherries.
I would imagine they will be smaller than the sweet store bought Bing
cherries. Does anyone have experience with this variety?
