Sweet cherries fail in Atlanta due to winter temperature swings and late frosts. Sour cherries like 'Montmorency', 'Stella', 'North Star' may succeed in sheltered spots with minimal fertilizer. One gardener reports increasing harvests on a slight east-facing slope, losing only to late frost.
A listener writes: Sour cherries make great pies with sugar. Trees get full sun, little shelter. Late frost sometimes kills blossoms, but 4 of 5 years had good crops.
