Cherry Crown Morello 1 x Bare Root Tree

Rich, Juicy Cherries Made for Cooking Generous crops of dark red, juicy cherries Rich, sharp flavour that's excellent for cooking Self-fertile – no pollination partner needed Crops in full sun or partial shade RHS Recommended: Award of Garden Merit 'Crown Morello' is a classic acid cherry, producing generous crops of dark red cherries with juicy, sharp-flavoured flesh. That characteristic tartness makes the fruit particularly good for cooking, where its rich cherry flavour comes into its own in pies, crumbles, sauces, jams and preserves. Unlike sweet cherries, Morello doesn't demand the sunniest position in the garden. It will crop successfully in partial shade, making it especially useful for less sunny gardens and even suitable for training against a north-facing wall. White blossom covers the branches in spring before the developing cherries take over through summer. It's self-fertile and a reliable cropper, so you only need one tree to produce fruit. Morello cherries carry much of their crop on shoots made the previous year, so keeping a good supply of younger growth is important when pruning. How your tree is supplied: Supplied as a grafted bare-root tree on Colt rootstock, ready for planting during the dormant season.
