About Sour Cherry and growing it in Alberta
White flowers appear in early spring, followed by red to dark purple fruit in summer. Adaptable to a wide range of soils and sun conditions, it thrives in full sun and performs well in colder climates. While it requires some maintenance, including regular pruning and monitoring for pests like aphids and borers, its fruit and ornamental value make it a popular choice for edible landscapes.
