Well, of the 12 cherries I picked from the young trees, I can tell you they were very tasty, and tart, but not astringent. They were almost semi-sweet. I waited while they hung on the tree under a net. Red like a Fire Engine. I would eat them right off the tree, but some folks might not. The only other 'tart' cherry I had was Prunus Bessyi (Hansens). They were very small, wicked clingstone, and astringent, but made the best pie I ever had. Too bad they all got 'the crud' (X - virus?) and went nasty on me right after bloom the last couple of years while the plums & peaches were fine. I yanked them. Plantron Crap they were.

Murph,
 
How would you rate Surefire's taste for fresh eating?  How does it compare to other tarts in the fresh eating category?

My sweet cherries on Mahaleb did crappy as well.........
 
I planted 10 Black Golds on Mahaleb, zone 4 Maine, in 2006.
Clayish loam.
4 0f the 10 outright CROAKED, and the other 6 look like hell.
 
Cummins Nursery has Black Gold on Mazzard.
I bought 4 from Steve a couple weeks ago.
I also bought a Black Gold on G5 (for comparison) from Raintree, because my Bentons on G5 did awesome.
 
Meanwhile, the Surefires and Evans are doing well.
 
Murph
