4-N-1 Combo Cherry (Montmorency, Sweetweart, Van, Bing)

Why choose between a pie cherry and a sweet snacking cherry when you can have them all? The 4-N-1 Combo Cherry is a "family tree" consisting of four distinct varieties grafted onto a single trunk. This specific combination features the Bing (the classic, deep red sweet cherry), Van (a prolific, crack-resistant sweet cherry), Sweetheart (a firm, late-ripening sweet cherry), and Montmorency (the world's most famous sour pie cherry). This mix ensures you have fruit for fresh eating, canning, and baking, all from one footprint.

Beyond the variety, the genius of this tree lies in its built-in pollination. While many cherries require a second tree to bear fruit, the different varieties on this combo tree pollinate each other, guaranteeing a heavy harvest without needing extra space for a partner. It also offers a "staggered harvest," as the different varieties ripen at slightly different times, extending your cherry season longer than a single variety could. In spring, the tree is a patchwork of white blooms, making it a beautiful and productive centerpiece for small yards.
