Cherry 'Crown Morello'

• Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit
• Happy in north-facing sites
• Great for kitchen gardens

Traditional acid cherry variety whose fruit comes into its own in the kitchen. It's a favourite for reducing as jam, using for cherry pies or cherry crumble. Crown Morello reaches a height of about 2-3m so it's easy to harvest from healthy trees with fruit within reach.

Flowering in April, you are rewarded with a tree of attractive spring blossom that brings in important pollinating insects. We recommend that you prune lots of fruited stems in September, down to a leafy side-shoot as fruit appears on acid cherries like Crown Morello on the stems of those leafy side-shoots next year.
