The semi dwarf Black Tartarian cherry tree, also known as the Large Black Heart, is a prized heirloom variety renowned for its dark sweet fruit and vigorous growth. Introduced to the West in the late 1700s, this heritage cultivar produces purplish black cherries with juicy, dark red flesh and a sprightly, full-bodied flavor—perfect for fresh eating, preserves, or juice. Ideal for USDA zones 5–9, the tree thrives in drained soil, enjoys full sun, and offers one of the earliest cherry harvests of the season.

Like all premium fruit trees, proper planting, watering, and pruning will ensure a healthy tree and an abundant harvest for years to come.

Key Features

  • Fruit: Medium-sized, heart-shaped cherries; dark red to nearly black skin with rich, juicy flesh
  • Flavor: Bold, sweet, and slightly tart—preferred by many over the Bing cherry
  • Type: Semi dwarf on Maxma rootstock—perfect for smaller spaces or home orchards
  • Chill Hours: Requires 800–900 chill hours for optimal yield
  • Harvest Time: Early season—typically from May 10 to May 30

Pollination & Cross Compatibility

  • The Black Tartarian cherry tree is not self-pollinating and requires cross pollination with other sweet cherry trees
  • Excellent pollinizer for other cherry varieties like Bing or Craig’s Crimson
  • For best fruit set, refer to a reliable Black Tartarian cherry tree pollination chart when choosing companions

Growing & Care Guidelines

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH
  • Sunlight: Full sun exposure is essential for strong growth and fruiting
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during the first 2–3 years—avoid overwatering
  • Fertilization: Apply balanced organic fertilizer in early spring to encourage growth and fruit production
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove deadwood and improve airflow—key for preventing diseases like bacterial canker

Historical Significance & Uses

  • A historically significant cultivar, the Prunus avium Black Tartarian may be a parent of the Black Republican cherry
  • Once the leading commercial sweet cherry in the U.S., this Tartarian cherry tree remains a classic among old-world cherry trees
  • Excellent for fresh eating, juicing, baking, and making preserves

Sensitive skin
Such a good product. I use after micro needling when skin is sensitive. Also a great product to use as a barrier serum when starting tretinoin cream.

Saved my skin during an eczema flare up
This saved my skin! I had an eczema flare on my face, and my usual products weren’t working. A friend recommended the Avene brand and within 3 days of using this rescue barrier serum, my flare was almost completely gone! This saved my face!

PLEASE REVIEW — FORMULA CHANGED!!!
I wish I would’ve posted a review PRIOR to the formula changing but just know that I LOVED this serum. I’ve struggled with hormonal acne (PCOS) and eczema for as long as I can remember. Finally, last summer my dermatologist put me on (3) different RX including Spironolactone and Accutane. I was so tired so I stopped everything except for CeraVe cleanser, retinol (Tretinoin) and CeraVe healing ointment. My made up skin routine was working until I used too much Tretinoin and burned my face. I had read great reviews about this product so I thought, I might as well try it — and IT WORKED! I’ve been using this product for almost a year and I loved it. However, 3 weeks ago when I ordered it, I noticed the bottle had a green tint. I could tell after one use that the feel of the serum was different, more watery, not as thick as it used to be. The smell was also different. Still, I kept using it for nearly 2 weeks and I experienced 2 breakouts! Sure enough, I stopped the product and within a few days, my skin was back to normal. I am very upset because as someone who has extremely sensitive skin, this worked but unfortunately, the new formula isn’t for me.

Miracle cream
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been having crazy acne due to a severe reaction to salicylic acid, among other things. My face was incredibly inflamed, itchy, sensitive, red and painful. My dermatologist started me on an oral antibiotic and a clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide topical. The topical was still drying me out quite a bit so I got this lotion and it's literally a miracle cream. My skin is hydrated, no itchy or stinging and the redness has gone down so much. It's also helping my open sores to heal more quickly. Yes, it's a combination of all 3 products working together but I can definitely see and feel the cream repairing my skin barrier. I will be starting on accutane after a month of antibiotics and will continue to use this balm to keep me from drying up like a prune.

Works amazing! My eczema is clearing up on my face!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been struggling with eczema all of my life and I'm insanely sensitive to all sorts of creams. I've tried just about everything you could find. Colloidal oatmeal ones...to hypo allergenic creams in high end stores. I react to goat's milk and even ones with no fragrance. Well, for the first time ever, I found a cream that seems to be doing the trick. I'm on meds to help with the eczema, but the issue was the eye area, upper forehead [between eyebrows], and right under the nose and around the lips. I'd always get this redness and it didn't matter what creams I used. I recently switched to a Clinique soap [more like a moisturizer that comes out of a bottle] for my face, but it still wasn't getting better. It helped, but the redness wasn't going away! I read online about this cream. I don't use a ton. I put literally a drop under each eye and gently tap it into the area. I also just dab a tiny amount on any other red spot. I'm primarily using this for areas where the redness won't go away. Well, three days after starting this my skin is FINALLY healing around my eyes and in the other zones. My mom even noticed! I can tell you, this is a THICK cream. It's too heavy to slather all over your face. Use it to target areas and use a lighter moisturizer [Aveeno has a sensitive face cream that's new and works]. This cream will help the skin heal [all those annoying patches and redness]. It's worth the money. I suspect it's going to take me ages to finish this bottle off. But, it just is so nice to see my face and not have some sort of weird raccoon look. FYI - I do have some patches on my legs which I glob it on and it's helping that heal too. If you need a good hydrating cream that helps protect the skin and helps it get over that bump where it's irritated, this may work for you. Oh, it has absolutely no scent - none. That was a nice surprise. It's designed for sensitive skin. Initially, I was worried about the cost, but now that my eczema is healing up, it's worth every penny. This worked better than all those steroids and hydrocortisone my docs kept giving me. I was so stressed over the wrinkles under my eyes and for once, it's looking nice. :)
