When I transplanted them they were not doing very good in the sand. I saw some blosoms but they just died off probably because they needed more chilling hours to blosom or there are not bees in our area.  -  Tuesday, April 03, 2012 not doing well Reviewed By: Tina (Emmaus, PA) I have had these bushes for several years now, they aren't doing well at all. The so called cherries that are suppose to be growing look like pits with very little cherry around them. I will be requesting a refund.  -  Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Hansen's Secret Reviewed By: Tyrone (Davenport, Iowa) I was not at first impressed with the Hansen's Cherries. They were a little bitter at first. I let them ripen a bit more, and they were alright raw. Then, I pitted them, just with my thumb, very easy. I stuck them in the microwave enough to cook them, with a little sugar. Wow, they tasted like really sweet cherries after this. They are great with ice cream. From what I have seen, cooking with a little sugar makes a huge difference. I had cherries the second year after planting, and quite a few. Don't disregard this cherry because the unripe raw fruits are a bit bitter. The plant is hardy and from what I have seen even bugs stay away.  -  Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Hansen's Bush Pie Cherry Tree Reviewed By: Betty  (Bismarck, North Dakota) I noticed the review by somebody that disliked these. Of course they aren't real good to eat raw. But I made such wonderful Jelly last season with these. I am sure they make great pies also. Everybody wanted my Jelly, and some want to know where to order these. I see they are not available for order now, I hope that is available soon. We think they are wonderful and they are doing great. We planted two yrs ago and had a great crop off 2 bushes last summer. They are doing great! So I would recommend this to anybody. Thanks much!  -  Thursday, April 14, 2011 Good plants Reviewed By: Jon (Silverhill, AL) I got these plants about 2 weeks ago and promptly planted them. 2 weeks later i have seen lots of leaf growth and am hopeful that by this time next year i will have flowers and fruit. Thanks!
