U of S Sour Cherries
The following contains information that is of a general nature. There are many studies done and currently underway in the USA that expound the virtues of traditional sour cherries. The U of S varieties grown in the Canadian Prairie's pristine environment will take our products well above the normal growing conditions in traditional orchard environments.
