Fruit Trees for Human and Bird Consumption

Cherry (Sweet) – The best zones for growing sweet cherries are zones 5-7. Most of these trees are self-fertile, but if you have a different variety nearby for pollination, you can expect your fruit to be larger and your yield to be more plentiful. The downside is that sweet cherry trees take from 4-7 years after planting to bear fruit. But, the birds will thank you later.
