How do you plant cherry trees?
Plant cherries in a sunny area protected from winds.The soil must be very well drained and an addition of compost helps, even though cherries do not need particularly rich soil. Prepare a hole twice as deep as the tree to be planted needs at this stage, and back-fill with a mix of soil and compost. If you soil drains poorly, plant the tree in a shallower hole so you can create a mound on top to ensure better drainage. Water in well, even if rain is forecast, as this gets rid of air pockets in the soil. Always make sure your cherry has a pollinator, unless it is self-fertile. See the Related Question on the left under the blue pod for more on pollination.
Can a sweet cherry tree pollinate with a sour cherry tree?
Yes, however, you probably meant cultivar instead of species in this case. In the case of a cultivar, the answer is a qualified no. Most sweet cherries do not pollinate their own varieties. Most sour cherries do. Recent developements have come up with some self-fertile sweet cherry cultivars. Reputible nurseries will tell you which ones you need for which and usually have charts on hand to help.
If sour cherries are picked before fully ripened will they ripen indoors?
Cherries will ripen if picked after they start to change color. You can place partilly ripe cherries in a bowl or paper bag at room temperature and they will ripen to a degree. We have used the technique on sweet and pie cherries as well as wild cherries. Of course they are not as sweet as cherries picked ripe on the tree but they are an improvement over cherries that you don't get at all because the birds ate them!

Choose a sunny location that has deep, well-drained soil and good air circulation. It is important for the soil to be well-drained because otherwise a tree that seemed healthy during drier years may die during a wet year because the soil is holding too much water. Avoid low areas where cold air settles, instead choose a more elevated area to prevent blossoms from being killed by frost. It is not a good idea to plant a cherry tree in areas surrounded by buildings or shade trees. Avoid planting plum trees or cherry trees in a location where there was a previous tree infected with a fungal disease like Verticillium Wilt.

Where I am we have raspberry lime rickis. It is a slushy drink.
Is the stem of the cherry the pistil?
I have been looking for a long time to this answer, I do not have a definite one, but logic could conclude that since the fruit itself is the ovary, as the cherry is an angiosperm pit inside is the 'egg') the stem could possibly be the pistil. The top would be the stamen, then style, then the bottom, the fruit, would be the ovary. This is my conclusion. I would recommend a little more research, as I have found no specific answer to this question.
