How tall do Cherry Trees grow? Are they a good tree in the Midwest?

Hubby and I want to plant a sapling the day (if) we move into our new house (still waiting to hear about the loan stuff). Anyways, we don't want anything that will get super big, but we also want it to have a long life span. So the questions are:How tall do Cherry Trees grow?

Are they a good Tree in the Midwest? How long is their life span? How long until you get fruit good enough to eat?

1 I don't know a lot about cherry trees, but I know they will grow in the Midwest--Traverse City, Michigan, is famous for growing Lots and lots of cherries, and they are nit only Midwest but also north. They don't grow too terribly tall.

2 Cherry trees generally grow to about 30 feet but of course this can vary depending on variety of tree, soil, amount of sun and other conditions. I'm not sure how long it is until the tree bears fruit but naturally that can depend on how mature the tree is that you plant. Keep in mind the fruit should be protected from birds.

You should visit a tree nursery, as opposed to a simple garden center, to get the best info. Your library might have some good books to help you meanwhile the following sites should be useful. http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf95700807.tip.htmlhttp://www.backyardgardener.com/plants/gcherry.htmlhttp://www.gardenersnet.com/fruit/cherrytrees.htmhttp://orchards-fruit-gardening.suite101.com/article.cfm/choosing_tart_cherry_trees .

3 you can get dwarf, semi-dwarf, and regular fruit trees. I personally favor semi dwarf, to get them tall enough to mow under, but short enough to harvest using a modest ladder. My "new" cherry tree is on its third season, and doesn't look like I'll get much crop.

Not sure whether it's the age, or the fact that it's too wet for bees, or the fact it's not quite synchronized with the other cherry tree. (cherries need to be planted in mismatched pairs to pollinate, for most kinds of cherry) .

4 Door County in Wisconsin (largely a peninsula that extends out into lake Michigan) is famous for its cherry trees trinity...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_County,_Wisco... County prides itself on its cherry orchards, and a history of cherry growing that dates back to the 1800s. Soil and weather conditions - warm days and cool nights - influenced by Lake Michigan and Green Bay have created an ideal environment for growing these delicious fruits. Today with around 2,200 acres (8.9 km2) of cherry orchards and another 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of apple orchards, Door County is filled with blossoms in the spring and is richly decorated with the fruits in the late summer and fall.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
