I read your comments on the story about the Macedonians planting trees and wanted to remind you to check your preferred variety of cherry tree to make sure that it doesn't need a pollinator. Some cherries don't do well without them at all. On the other hand, there are many combinations of sweet and tart varieties that do well together and would give you some to eat fresh and others to eat in pies.

I saw your comment on the story about the Macedonians planting trees about planting fruit trees. Don't forget to check and see if the varieties you want are ones that do better with a pollinator. If you plan it well with cherries, you can match up sweet and tart varieties that do well as cross-pollinators and have bigger crops on both as a result.
